Private Club. Membership Required. But not a private club like Bushwood Country Club. It's a 501(c)(3) corporation whose purpose is to develop and promote youth sports in the Madison area. $25 single/$50 family summer and winter memberships available. Visit the Blackhawk Ski Club website to become a member.

Trails have been designed to make the most of the elevation change that made the old-time ski jumpers locate their club here. You'll find flowing downhill, climbs ranging from gentle and twisty to straight and punishing, and secret stashes of old-school single track. Accessible to beginners, challenging for experts, and connected to Pleasant View for your extended riding pleasure. Host of a popular evening kids program designed to introduce 6-10-year-olds to off-road riding.
