Wisconsin Dells Skiing and Snow Report
Skiers, this story is for you. And by “skiers” we mean both downhill and cross-country. Don’t mind us as we belt out the chorus “Let It Snow!”
This five-minute read explores ski destinations in the Dells. Hold on tight because it’s going to be an exhilarating ride as we bring you the best of skiing in Wisconsin Dells.
Favorite Slopes: For those heading to Cascade Mountain Ski, Snowboard & Snow Tube, you’ll want to try their longest trail, “Far Out,” a beginner cruiser trail that comes in at just over one mile and takes you past old growth forests and rock formations. Another mile-long beginner trail is “Adele’s Alley.” That’s just the tip of the iceberg, as Cascade Mountain has 48 trails in all, beginner to advanced. The vertical drop at Cascade Mountain is 460 feet. With 100% snowmaking coverage, you’ll be skiing to your heart’s content. Eleven lifts get skiers back to the top of the hill in record time. The snowboard terrain park is packed with rails, jumps, and jibs. Be sure to allow time for the entire family to go tubing too. Check out the variety of season passes – from ski all winter to one ticket per week. Christmas Mountain Village – Ski, Snowboard & Tube is another destination for snow fun. They host a wide variety of trails from beginner to advanced. A snow tube park, cozy campfire area, and an on-site bar and restaurant make this a great social spot for visitors of all levels.
Favorite Trails: Cross-country skiers, you’ll want to block out a few days to explore the trails at the area state parks, starting with Mirror Lake State Park, where there are 18 miles of trails groomed for a combination of both skate- and classic-skiing. If you’re up for it, try the Northwest Trail, the most challenging trail in the park, with steep rolling hills through sandstone rock outcroppings. Devil’s Lake State Park offers six miles of ungroomed, multi-use trails.
