About us
Meet other locals who are interested in cross-country skiing, both skate and classic. Our members are a wealth of knowledge of local parks and trails, as well as gear and technique. All skill levels are welcome. Join us for skiing weekday evenings on metro area lit trails, or longer skis and daytrips at metro and state parks. We'll try to get in a few special events in our short season, such as full moon skis and the Luminary Loppet.

There is room for 4-8 people depending upon the mix of couples and singles. Live the XC ski dream trailside so everyone can ski at their own pace and their own schedule. Ski at your convenience thru the day, then relax by the fireplace, planning your next day's adventures. There are three bedrooms – two have king beds and one has two double bunk beds – and two full baths to accommodate multiple schedules. A waxing bench is available for use in a detached building. XC ski trails are groomed right to your door (literally!). Each person is on their own for breakfast and lunch; dinners will be as a group with all guests contributing.
