Don Justin grooms 15 km (10 mi.) of 10 to 15 feet wide trails that were created with a bulldozer in 1985. He grooms with a Ski-doo Skandic snowmobile and a Tidd Tech snow tenderizer and track setter for classic and freestyle Nordic skiing. The trails vary in difficulty, length and loop around to bring you back to the Lodge. Some provide great vistas of the surrounding valleys and hills of southwest Wisconsin also known as the Driftless region. | |||||||

| The following is excerpted from Jonathan Wiesel’s Cross Country Ski Vacations (1997): "Like the Springs, Justin Trails lies in Wisconsin’s ’driftless region,’ among hills that weren’t ground down or rounded by the last glacial epoch. Founded in 1985, owned and operated by Don and Donna Justin, both from local families, it’s one of the smallest XC areas around-actually something of a farm-resort. Meter for meter, it has one of the most challenging trail networks in the Midwest. More important, it’s also among the most entertaining, attractive as much as a ’winter getaway’ as for skiing."
Words can’t explain our wonderful Christmas of 2006! We’ve never taken the time to spend Christmas alone, together, without the hustle and bustle of the season. We "invented" a holiday this year with our grown children and their spouses, calling it "Mappy Thanksmas" and we all got together in early November so we could relax over Christmas. That was a great tradition that will continue for us! |
