Tubing and Ski Location

The Nordic Mountain Ski Area has always been a premier destination for skiers, but the park continues to expand and get better. There is a snowmaking pond onsite that is capable of producing 10 million gallons of snow. There are two new trails at the park including Nordy's Narrows, a winding woods run, and a new black run that is more challenging than any of the others onsite. There is a beginners area and lift so if you are just starting out, you can stay away from people whizzing past you on the slopes. There will be another handle tow, and the Nordy's Playground area will be enlarged. Some of the favorite paths of visitors are undergoing changes, so be sure to check things out when you go. Do not expect anything to be the same at this exciting ski park. Their goal is to update and serve their guests better. There are new variable speed chairlifts that have been completely rewired. They use less energy, but have become easier to adjust your speed when moving up the mountain. There are learn-to-ski packages available, and Nordic Mountain has made it their goal to make newbies feel welcome and comfortable. During the off-season, fans can enjoy the Nordic Wake Park. Starting in June, the only cable wakeboarding system in the Midwest opens for visitors.

Nordic is still the most affordable ski destination in Wisconsin. They believe that "...skiing should be a sport that everyone can enjoy and afford.'' There is a family hill that the entire clan can get out and enjoy, so kids will develop an early appreciation and comfort with the sport. However, if skiing is a bit too adventurous for your taste, Nordic Mountain features the Stoneridge Tubing Park. This tubing adventure, sponsored by Stoneridge Meat and Country market is fun for kids of all ages, sizes, and skill levels. Similar to sledding, but a lot more fun, you ride your tube to the top of the hill on at track, and slide down one of several chutes at speeds topping out at 40 miles per hour. Tubing provides an opportunity to enjoy a downhill adventure without having to concentrate on or worry about balance. Best of all, you never have to lug your tube back up the hill for another ride. You will glide easily to the top, just like you would on a ski lift.

There is a variety of lodging and dinging options near the Nordic Mountain Ski Area. Since Wild Rose is a bit off the beaten path of tourist destinations, most of these options are affordable and rarely fill up for the night. Many of the hotels have lounges and restaurants, or you can head to the Moose Inn Supper Club. Following a long day of skiing, you will love the chance to sit back, relax, enjoy a drink, and how down on a big Midwestern steak. There are plenty of ski resorts in Wisconsin, but Nordic Mountain is a no-frills option that take customer service seriously.
