Who will enjoy skiing at University of Wisconsin Arboretum?
Skiers of all capabilities will find the Arboretum a pleasant place to ski. While skiing, the noise of the nearby highway provides the only evidence that you haven’t left town. The trails are almost all two directional and flat. In some places the trails are so narrow that you’ll have to stand to the side to let skiers coming toward you pass. These ungroomed trails wouldn’t attract so many skiers if the Arboretum wasn’t such a special place. Expect to ski near tall prairie grass and through deep woods. There are few better ways to enjoy a fine winters day. Toilet facilities and parking are available. You’ll find the facilities at the McKay Nature Center which is not always open.
