2022 Winona Forest Try-It Classical and Skate Ski Races event

Presented By: Winona Forest Recreation Association

Welcome to the 2022 Ski Season in Winona Forest

We have exciting news for this coming ski season! For 2022, the Try-It ski event will feature the newly constructed Cross Leg Trail. Built this summer, Cross Leg offers a wide, sweeping trail that should work well for skate style skiing. Choose from a 1 loop 9K course, or 2 loops for 18K. The traditional 12.5K course will continue to be used for the classic event at 9AM.

This is a great time for people to come out and explore the Winona Forest on skis. This race is designed for people of all ages, abilities, and levels. It is a good time to enjoy the forest with family and friends and explore the trails. For those participating in the Winona Forest Tourathon on February 12, 2022 it is a great opportunity to train.
