PASS TYPES
From December 1 to March 15, use of the CXC Trail System requires a purchased trail ski pass. CXC provides a revocable, temporary license to access the trail system to the named holder of the pass.
CXC offers two pass options based on the type of snow coverage:
Regular CXC Trail Ski Pass
(for trails with natural snow coverage)
The Regular CXC Trail Ski Pass grants access to the entire groomed CXC Trail, including the cross-country ski trails on the Pleasant View Golf Course. However, it does not include access to the machine-made snow loop when natural snow is unavailable on the trails.
All-Access CXC Trail Ski Pass
(for trails with machine-made and natural snow coverage)
The All-Access CXC Trail Ski Pass grants access to the entire groomed CXC Trail, including cross-country ski trails on the Pleasant View Golf Course, and includes access to the machine-made snow loop that is groomed and tracked before there is enough natural snow to groom elsewhere. An All-Access CXC Trail Ski Pass, or daily pass, is required to ski on the machine-made snow loop at any time. The added revenue from the sales of the All-Access CXC Trail Ski Pass helps offset the costs of snowmaking and trail maintenance at the venue.
We depend on the revenue from all ski passes to ensure that the CXC Trail system remains among the top cross-country ski destinations in Southern Wisconsin. Please ensure every skier in your family has the appropriate ski pass displayed visibly on them at all times while skiing.
