Cross Country Ski Center
Operating status: We are closed for the season. Sunday, April 7th was our final day of operations at the Cross Country Center.
We would like to thank all of our visitors this season for helping make this one of the best years ever. With 106 consecutive days of operations, we took pride in providing you, our guests, with the very best in service and snow surface quality anywhere, thanks to our grooming staff and our Mountain, that gives us so much snow. From all of us at the 'Mansfield Touring Center', thanks, have a great summer, and we look forward to seeing you next year!
