The Badger Pass ski area is a small, family style downhill ski area catering to local families (3 lifts). While the downhill is nothing to write home about, the cross country skiing is wonderful.

It's got only 10 or so runs so don't expect much of a challenge if you're an expert skier but the it's perfect for teaching your kids to ski. I wasn't very impressed... more

The guaranteed Learn To Ski/Board package gives the beginner two lessons, one at 10 am and one at 2... more

Once reaching badger pass, one has oodles of options: Downhill skiing, Cross Country Skiing, Snow Boarding or Snow Shoes. Renting snowshoes for just $10, one can break their own trail or follow the packed... more

Well when I saw the opportunity to review "Badger", I had to do it! I learned to ski at Badger Pass when I was just 50% of a ski pole. So now that I am in my late twenties and have been skiing all over the world, I still think of Badger as the true Family Ski Haven. I spend... more
