All cross-country skiers on public ski trails age 16 and above must have a Minnesota Ski Pass. You must sign your ski pass and carry it with you when skiing. The rates are: daily pass $5; one-season ski pass, $14; and three-season ski pass, $40.  You can help keep our trails in good shape with the purchase of a ski pass.
