No Need to Hibernate!

We love the winter. You don't feel the cold when you strap on a pair of cross country skis or snow shoes. Located in the heart of the Tug Hill Plateau, the Osceola Tug Hill XC Ski Center continues to share 100+ acres of gorgeous trails original owner, Hugh Quinn, designed and developed over the last 40 years. As new owners, we are amazed at what he created and the beauty of this land. 

Thomas takes pride in his grooming duties. Our YTS Ginzu groomer equals  zen gardening in the snow: fresh corderoy ready for you to skate or set tracks to hop into and effortlessly explore the diverse trails.  Trails are groomed for both classic and skate techniques. We are developing snowshoe-only trails throughout the property and folks are welcome to explore every inch of our woods and the endless state land adjoining to the south.  With over 200 inches of lake effect snow each winter, the Tug Hill is dependable for winter fun when other places are starving for snow. 

Our newly remodeled lodge is warm and dry. When you arrive, stop into the main lodge for tickets, ski and/or snowshoe rentals, snack bar, and retail store. Warm up next to our woodstove or tailgate in our large parking lot and enjoy our outdoor seating and firepit.
