Valley Spur

Only a few thousand people ski the 22-mile Valley Spur trail each year.

An annual visit beautiful trails, lovely volunteers an all around tremendous Nordic ski area. There is always a ton of snow in this area and you can count on excellent groomed trails. When we have gone on weekends there has been homemade soup and bread served in the cozy warming house but you can always bring your own food. We love to end our ski with a great stay at Roam Boutique Hotel in Munising.

Swedetown Ski Trails

Reviewed By Stonecroft7 - Rexburg, United States

We had a nice gathering of friends at the chalet at the top of the sledding hills. The place is not fancy, but was warm on a day when temperature was in the teens. Folks had reserved the second floor , where there is a little cafe run by a nice lady—you can buy simple foods. Sodas, warm beverages, etc. Our hosts had brought pizza and treats, which is also allowed. The kids had a blast on the well groomed hills. This is a great place!

ABR Trails

Reviewed By WiOutdoorGirl - Madison, United States

Skied here over the New Year holiday and was delighted by all the snow and well- groomed trails. I wasn't sure how I would like not having the warming shelter open, but it wasn't really an issue. We just used our car as a warm up shelter. I would recommend ABR for skiing. It was worth the trip for the snow and the well-groomed trails.
