Como Park Ski Center Updates

Downhill: With temperatures dropping, we plan to start making snow later this week. We hope to determine an opening date for the ski hill soon. Updates will be posted on the Como Park Ski Center website.

X-Country: The x-country ski trails at Como will be closed starting January 22 due to tree work. We will begin grooming ski trails at Como with the next significant snow fall. Grooming has begun at Phalen and Highland 9 golf courses, but more snow is needed for optimum skiing conditions. Visit the X-Country Skiing website for updates on trail conditions.
