How does the place stay in business?
Good question. It has been on sale for several years at $1.4 million. No takers.

Family-owned for +20 years ;
loyal customer base, mostly affordable season passes.
Reliable ownership and
reliable, dedicated staff.
1.4M is a big number, but
it is a nice piece of property in a recreational area...
Thank You for your stoke in this thread, Harry (!)
I was gunning to get there yesterday, Harry - even If just for Lunch - until forecast for Fifty.mph Wind! around here shut me down .
it's still snowing - And it is blowing! But it ain't fifty.mph.
Temperature is dropping.
supposed to snow past midnight, here -
rock On, Harry !
Thank You for what you do !
Respect. skiJ
Skied a few hours in the middle of the day Friday at “The Epic and Classic” Welch Village. Apart from a hs race taking place on Lookout, it was fairly empty. The bar is pretty low, but all things considered, the snow was the best it’s been this year- especially with all the snow guns going. High speed laps served only to remind me that running shape does not = tele ski shape and that I am one year older. I will prob head back down Sun or Mon with the little ripper in tow.
You should check out the Leg Blaster thread. It gets bumped every fall, and everyone posts in the thread how many leg blasters they do. It’s a great way to get motivated preseason while building up your legs. I did it this fall, still doing them now. They definitely helped me.

Several inches of fresh at Christie Mountain. Really changed the mountain, shitloads of fun when it’s soft and fresh. Lots of people out but never a lift line.

Trollhaugen has reduced hours to 10am till 4pm due to cold temps. That’s fine with me, that’s all I ski anyway.
GSinister, you up for Senior Wednesday?

I’m out. I got RSV. Get the vaccine if you’re old enough. It sucks.
Fuck….. Vibes.

Off again Friday, but not available until the afternoon. Anyone going out in the area? Harry? MNteleswede- nobody cares that you Tele….
I will ski on Friday with you. Troll or Wild? Text sent.

Wild could be a shit-show in the afternoon on Friday. Ski club for Chisago has started, so after school time, there will be a healthy dose of teens/pre-teens and more shit laying on the ground than a race day. There's a chance I'll be out there later afternoon, and if so, can get a pair of cheap tickets (really cheap) anytime I'm there.
We'll be down at Welch on Sunday for a race, and holy shit, their ticket prices are trying to compete with Afton. I was originally going to ski, but $80 for a day where I'll spend half of it standing around watching the boys race, probably have to pass.
Trollhaugen it is, thanks in advance naedward81 !

Saw the news on FB! Sweet!!
Swede - I'll probably be at Welch on Saturday. Since Sunday is race day, 100% avoidance mode that day.
So is that the same terrain that I skied last year with all those rope tows ? Just now with a chair ? Or is there even more terrain ?
I remember having fun back there, cool that they are opening it up, I will definitely hit it Friday.

Excellent. Axe and I will schralp that new terrain into oblivion tomorrow.
Question for you: next week a prominent maggot will be passing through WI and wants to ski at either Christie Mountain or Trollhaugen. He is lurking in this thread if he wants to out himself. Anyway, our decision on where to ski could be greatly influenced by cheap/free tickets for he and I. Any help is appreciated. I think he will be on Heritage Lab 124s or some equally inappropriate ski. He should fit right in.
