A main attraction to UP ski trails is the abundant snowfall, the forest of pine, spruce, and balsam laced with snow garlands and excellent grooming equipment. Designated trails are well-marked with directional signs and levels of expertise from novice to expert, with rest areas along the way. Or choose a trail system with a warm-up cabin where one can take a rest as a cup of steaming hot chocolate warms the heart and hands. There are trails to waterfalls, ice caves, and past scenic lookouts. Cross-country races are held throughout the season with categories for all ages.
Races are fun to enter and fun to watch.
