Don't put the Sleds, Skis, and Snowshoes away just yet!!

Old man Winter may have shown up a little later than usual, but with longer days, warmer temps and great snow conditions it is a perfect combination for a late winter getaway in the County of Trails...

Off the beaten path, and roughly 5 hours from the Chicagoland area and 3 hours from Milwaukee and Madison, you can find great conditions for ALL Winter activities.  Whether you hit the over 530 miles of expertly groomed snowmobile trails or one of our six groomed cross-country ski trails (most groomed for classic and skating-check the link for more info).  Click Here for all the latest reports on all our trails.  If you would rather get off the beaten path, then there's over 126,000 of playground for you to snowshoe or backcountry ski on.  And, if you want it all including some downhill skiing, then a stop up at Kettle Bowl ski area is a must. 

Also located on the snowmobile trail system, Kettle Bowl is one of Langlade County's phenomenons.  Carved out from the ice age, this tow rope down hill ski area is a winter playground.  Open only on the weekends from 12pm-4pm, it is the perfect place to base your winter fun from.   While hanging in the chalet, you can also enjoy one of the best hotdogs in the area.
