Insider's tips
Embrace Winter
Find your next fresh-air adventure.
Snow sports lovers rejoice. Your season is here.
Historically, over 50 inches of snow makes its way to Taylors Falls, MN and St. Croix Falls, WI during winter. To some, that means packing it in and dreaming of spring, but not here. Here, we unpack. We bust out skis and snowboards and get ‘em waxed and ready. We inflate snow tubes and fat bike tires. We rev up snowmobiles and gas their tanks. We dust off winter jackets, snowpants, long underwear, hats, gloves, mittens, wool socks, boots… Here, we gear up. Winter is upon us and we have no intention of hibernating.
