Skiing at Milwaukee downhill areas?
 

I'm headed back to my hometown of Milwaukee for Xmas; any chance of
skiing downhill areas there with my nordic skis?

Crystal Ridge in Franklin is not open yet. They do have some snow made and
maybe with this cold snap they can open this weekend. I'll drive by there this
afternoon and see. Sunburst near West Bend IS open and is your best bet in this
area.

Sunburst in Kewaskum is open and they do welcome nordic skiers. There
are a couple of caveats though.

1) You need to buy a pass. I'm not positive but I have a recollection
that a seasons pass for nordic is around $40.
2) You have to be off the slopes by the time that the downhillers show
up. That means off by 9:00 am Saturday and Sunday, 4:00 pm Mondays
through Thursday and 10:00 am on Friday. I don't know if the hours
change for the holidays but that's it for the rest of the time.

When in doubt, call them. They're pretty nice folks and they'll tell
you whether it's worth coming out or not.

Thanks, guys. I'll make some calls.
