Current Trail Conditions

The Pincushion Ski and Run Club maintains the 25km network of skiing/walking trails at Pincushion for year-round use. These wide trails are mowed all summer for walkers and runners and are groomed all winter for skate and classic Nordic skiing. In addition, club volunteers clear the trails from post-storm debris and clear the trails from brush growth prior to the beginning of the ski season.

A Great Minnesota Ski Pass is required to ski at Pincushion. Annual or day passes are available for purchase in person at Buck’s Hardware, Holiday or Marathon, or you can purchase online.
