A scenic course in picturesque St. Croix River Valley with a hilly terrain that offers a workout for walkers.
For convenience to the Cities, this ski, snowboarding and tubing area can't be beat.

In Short
Surrounded on three sides by Afton State Park, this hill is close to the city, yet decidedly country. Snowboarders are welcome on the hills and at a terrain park. Rope and handle tows, 15 double chairlifts and three triple chairlifts span the area. There's also a snow-tubing park, so those who don't ski can still hit the hills. Forty runs range from challenging to gentle, although the majority of the hills accommodate intermediate-level skiers.
