Approximately 15 km (10 mi) of cross-country ski trails are open for biking. Beginning in 2003, P.A.S.T.A. (Point Area Single Track Association) has added over 13 miles of single track at various skill levels. There are plenty of climbs, roots, and rocks that wind throughout the wooded park. Mountain bikes must stay on designated trails at all times. All single track is signed and one way only.
Cross Country Skiing
Cross country ski trails are open on a daily basis throughout the snow season. There are approximately 15 km (10 mi) of trails. About 75% of the trails are rated as intermediate or expert trails because of the many hills and distances. Trails are groomed for both diagonal stride and skate skiing.
Downhill Skiing
There are two beginner hills, one intermediate hill, and two experts hills at the park. The longest run is approximately 1200 feet and the steepest vertical drop is 125 feet. Downhill skiing is available every weekend throughout the snow season and weekdays during the Christmas holiday season except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Tow ropes operate from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during the scheduled downhill ski season. The lodge and ski shop are open on weekends from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Hot concessions are sold in the ski lodge.
