Our Candlelight Ski will again become a reality in 2023.  It will be held on Saturday, February 25^th.  We’ll have the chili hot and ready to serve by 5:00.  The candles will be lit from 6:00 until 8:00.

This event increased in size before Covid hit.  What a great time to get outside in the winter and enjoy the night sky.  The 1 mile ski trail will be lighted with 150 candles.  This evening ONLY, walkers, snowshoers, and skiers will share the trail.  So if you don’t ski, you can walk, snowshoe or stand around the campfire, chat with friends, and enjoy hot chili, smores, bars, and hot drinks.  Maplewood State Park has 12 sets of snowshoes that you can try out.  No skis are available.

Remember, if you come to go skiing, you do need a Ski Pass if 16 or older.  $10.00 daily ski passes are available at the Park or a 1 year ski pass ($25) can be purchased.  Of course, Minnesota Park Stickers are required on all vehicles.  Questions can be answered at Maplewood State Park, 218-863-8383.
