About WinMan Trails
WinMan is a year-round multi-sport trail system where you can continuously Amaze Yourself.
It all started with one family’s belief that embracing nature’s playground unleashes the best in all of us. Today, WinMan Trails is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization offering professionally managed trails and amenities to inspire active outdoor lifestyles.
Biking, skiing, hiking, snowshoeing or just chilling, whatever Moves You to smile and share joy with others, that's what it's all about.
In the summer and fall, WinMan offers 23+ miles of single-track mountain biking and 7+ miles of hiking and trail running trails. Trails are open to Class 1 e-MTB as well as Onewheels with trails for all riders, beginner to advanced.
In the winter, WinMan switches gears, offering trails for the whole family. With 23+ kilometers of well groomed trails for both classic and skate Nordic skiing, 10+ miles of groomed fat tire biking, 9+ miles of snowshoeing, and even a sledding hill. With free snowshoes to borrow and Nordic Rocks skis for kids, there is no excuse to not get outside and have an adventure.

Our core mission is offering an incredible trail experience. Our trail design allows for the entire family to enjoy themselves, while still offering challenges for more advanced users.
We offer excellently maintained trails that are well marked and mapped. This allows new users a chance to feel confident and comfortable when mountain biking or cross-country skiing here for the first time. Our location benefits from soil conditions that allow for excellent trail design and sustainability, scenery and forests that stimulate the user, and topography that packs in fun for every level of user.
Our winter trails offer similar diversity. With 3 distinct trails, you can spend the whole day at WinMan. Each unique trail system has options for the whole family and we even offer free Nordic Rocks skis for kids and free snowshoes for the whole family. Both are available for you to grab as you need in our chalet.
Offering more than just an incredible trail experience, WinMan Trails focuses on the entire user experience. Amenities include a chalet with indoor restrooms, changing rooms, free public wi-fi, a wood burning masonry fireplace as well as multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. You'll also find the WinMan Bar and Apparel Shop with custom WinMan swag, bike and ski supplies, craft beers and cocktails, wine, and so much more.
We believe the best way for WinMan to succeed is continuing to strengthen our core competencies of quality, year-round trails and adding amenities that enhance our users experience. Benefiting from an authentically developed and well established user base, overall industry growth in mountain biking and cross-country skiing, along with the vast benefits of our location, WinMan Trails is in a unique position to strengthen itself as a destination trail system and premier asset for the community.
