...truction for the west side of the Back Bowl. Snowmaking for the twelve new slopes includes 7000 feet of pipe, four new Polecat fan units from SMI Snow Makers, and 30 York Watersticks from Johnson Controls. A new Piston Bully snow grooming machine has been purchased from Kassbohrer ATV to enable daily grooming of the new, mostly advanced slopes. Construction of the new slopes and equipment is on schedule, aimed at opening Dec. 26, 2008.
Opening of the new slopes will add terrain features substantially different from the fifty runs now open to skiers and snowboarders at Welch Village. The slopes face south and east away from the prevailing northwest winds in the winter season. Layout of the slopes includes two large bowl areas plus several sharply pitched advanced runs, and a long connecting valley with an interesting fall line. Another new quad chairlift is planned for the Back Bowl area, as well as a small ''on the top'' day chalet, hopefully opening for the 2009-10 season.
For the first month after opening, the Back Bowl will only be open to guests who have membership st...

The sites are spacious, lying under the perview of the famous Barns Bluff, and looking across the main barge channel of the Mississippi River to the main street of historic Red Wing, MN. Wooded, rustic, and friendly... Yet only 45 minutes to the Minneapolis airport, and Mall of America! It's also only 4 minutes to downtown Red Wing, yet in it's own world in Wisconsin.
