There are plenty of terrific groomed ski trails in Minnesota state parks and state forests, but remember you'll first need to get a ski pass if you are 16 or older.
A friend of mine recently was driving with her family in Central Minnesota when they spotted what appears to be an Amish man "ditch skiing" behind a horse drawn buggy.
In a crazy year like 2020, one thing that remains important is getting outside and getting exercise so it's perfect timing to have Mont du Lac ready to open their ski hill.
