Resorts Welch-Village
Area Profile
Welch Village sits in the densely wooded scenic Cannon River Valley and has been family-owned since 1965. It offers a nice variety of over 40 runs that cater to all skiing levels, and a quartet of black-diamond, front-face runs that are among the steepest in the region. Two nicely spaced day lodges along the bottom of the sprawling ski hill offer lots of eating and lounging choices. Look for some major expansions and improvements at this long-time Minnesota ski area in the next couple of years, including development of a new side of their mountain with new terrain and lifts. Should be ready by 2007/08.
