Wausau’s Top Skiing Destination
As you may imagine, there are so many choices when it comes to finding snow to play in around the city of Wausau. Alpine skiers and snowboarders have one destination that shines above all the rest, and that is Granite Peak Ski Area, located in Rib Mountain State Park. All ages and abilities will be able to get out and have some fun!
Granite Peak is currently open for the season, with nearly half of their terrain already open for the season. Current conditions at the mountain are reporting an average 20-40″ base, and operators expect all lifts and terrain to be opened by Christmas. Once everything is open, and incredible amount of skiing will be yours for enjoyment. Granite Peak boasts 75 total runs, a high speed 6-passenger lift and 2 high speed quad chairs, as well as 2 other chairs and 2 conveyor lifts. Granite Peak’s slopes are also open for night skiing, which is a truly incredible experience we hope everyone can have. Keep looking for snow in the forecast!
There are also a lot of places for Nordic, or cross-country skiing, in the Wausau area, but that deserves its own blog post. Stay tuned next month, and learn how to join in on this incredible Wisconsin tradition!
