Silver Mine Nordic is working to provide our community a way to embrace winter.

Our Mission

Our goal is to develop the first recreation area in the Chippewa Valley with snowmaking capacity, and make it accessible to the local ski teams, clubs, and general public by bringing more options for winter outdoor recreation.

Why Cross-Country Ski?

While it’s a challenge to master, cross-country skiing easy to learn.  If you can walk, you can learn the basics of cross-country skiing. You can make a ski a serious workout or a walk in the park.

There’s no one “type” of person that skis; there are skiers young and old; there are skiers that have bad knees or backs, there are people that don’t seem to fit the mold of what people imagine skiers to be because most people only see skiing at the elite level.  Cross country skiing is a sport that encourages the company of children, and because the basics are simple, it’s a great way for the whole family to enjoy the winter.  On the other end of the spectrum, some of the most talented skiers I’ve come across are older: 50s, 60s, even 70s.  Nordic skiing is low impact, low speed, and is appealing due to its relatively low risk of injury.  It truly is a sport you can do for a lifetime.
