The sound of your skis across the new snow.  If you’ve ever cross-country skied, you know that sound. Gliding through the birches.  The scent of balsam as you brush down the hill, the herringbone tracks as you scurry up.  There are over 150 miles of cross-country ski trail on the Forest.  Trails range from a simple stretch of the legs to a high level romp up the hills of the Suomi area.  We hope you enjoy your winter adventure!
