Skiing

The fun’s just getting started when winter hits the byway. Whether it’s the tubing hill, 15 ski runs or the freestyle terrain park, Snowstar Winter Sports Park offers something to excite a host of skill levels. Hitting the slopes at Chestnut Mountain Resort means relishing in the 475-foot vertical drop toward the frozen waters of the Mississippi. The resort is also home to the Midwest’s largest terrain park, Farside, which provides an array of jumps and rails to thrill seekers. After a day on the slopes, nearby destinations offer warm drinks, shops, eateries and more.
