Welch Village

Welch Village sits in the densely wooded scenic Cannon River Valley and has been family-owned since 1965. It offers a nice variety 60 trails spread out over 140 acres of skiable terrain that cater to all skiing and snowboarding levels, and a quartet of black-diamond, front-face runs that are among the steepest in the region. Two nicely spaced day lodges along the bottom of the sprawling ski hill offer lots of eating and lounging choices.
