Affordable, fun resort accessible from the Twin Cities as a day trip. Some of the steepest inclines in the midwest. Groomed well, and they allow time to enjoy fresh powder when it first dumps. Glad to learn to ride here and then take skills out west!

Welch village is a great place in Minnesota, plenty of terrain for beginners and for advanced level riders.

Welch Village is an amazing hidden gem in Minnesota. With a decent amount of steepness (compared to other MN resorts) and a very local vibe it is a great place to spend the weekend skiing. Easy access from the twin cities (only 35 minutes!) 10/10 recommend.
