Start out the New Year at a new destination. The year’s first trip takes us to beautiful Wausau, Wisconsin for 2 days of skiing. Seven new lifts including a high speed 6-person express lift will enable you to check out the 74 runs including 7 tree-skiing glades. For those of you who want to cross country ski, Nine Mile Forest offers 20 miles of well groomed trails. When you’re tired of skiing a new lodge offers microbrews, wine, drinks, appetizers, two stone fireplaces and live entertainment. For those who never tire of skiing, ski from 4:00 – 9:00 pm on Saturday for only $15.

Rib Mountain State Park

Rib Mountain State Park began in 1924 when the Wausau Kiwanis Club donated a few acres of land to the State. The State subsequently acquired another 120 acres. In 1936, the State dedicated a portion of the Park for the creation of the ski area. The Kiwanis Club raised funds for the purchase of an additional 40 acres for the ski area in 1937 and, in 1941, the Wausau Chamber of Commerce procured another 40 acres for expansion of the ski area to the west. Additional parcels were acquired by the State over the next several decades—some of the land was dedicated for ski area use but most of the land was added to the general use portion of the Park. Today, Rib Mountain State Park encompasses more than 1,600 acres of which about 400 have been dedicated for use as a ski area and the remaining 800 acres are reserved for general park uses.
