XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 02/22


Have you tried a Turkey Reuben from the Stone Turtle Cafe? It’s best paired with a Bell’s Two Hearted IPA, and enjoyed outside on the Sun Deck after a ski!

The Trapper’s Cabin trail is still in good condition for skate and classic skiing. This ~2km loop will be really nice while temps stay cool this morning! What’s stopping you from heading out there, getting some exercise in nature, and also getting a nice suntan?? The Stone Turtle Cafe is open for lunch and drinks to replenish yourself.
