Ski Trail Conditions
2/16/26: Happy Birkie week! We survived the warm weekend. Spring conditions. Trails are icy in the morning, soft in the afternoon, and good if you hit the right time window. The snow base is holding up very well so far. Ski trails will not likely close, but conditions may vary. Stop for a ski on your way to Hayward, as the Birkie race course is closed for race prep.

Ski
If you are looking for a XC Ski Trail that offers everything, look no further than Timberland Hills (30km) and Timberland West (2.5km)! From gentle rolling terrain to the screaming hills of “The Ridge Run” and the “Outer Loop”, Timberland Hills offers fun and excitement for the beginning skier to the expert. Trails are groomed for both classic and skating techniques, and also offer groomed options for snowshoeing, skijoring, and fat biking.
Bike
Powered by One Track Mind, our progressive singletrack mountain bike trail system offers a wide variety of professionally-built terrain for riders of all abilities. Construction began in 2023, with 20+ miles completed through fall 2025. With more than 30 miles planned, we expect to construct more incredible trails in 2026. If the gates are closed, please stay off as the trails are too soft. Check current conditions for updates. Winter Fat Biking: Kickback, Fernhopper, Knot Bumper and Sawdust are groomed when conditions permit.
Enjoy
Timberland Hills can be used for a lot of activities in all seasons! Enjoy hiking, hunting, horseback riding and biking in the summer months. In the winter, along with cross country skiing, we welcome fat biking, hiking, snowshoeing and skijoring. As a reminder, please limit activities on the groomed ski trails to cross country skiing only. A portion of our trail system is also shared with the Ice Age Trail.
Stay
Snuggled in the woods in the southeast section of Burnett County, you will find a rustic, minimally maintained, one-room camper cabin. Only accessible by foot, fat bike, snowshoes, skis, or horseback (during the summer & fall), the camper cabin provides a basic shelter for people that want the “camping experience” without having to handle a tent, or have the weather ruin their visit. Within walking distance of the Timberland Hills Cross Country Ski and Mountain Bike Trails and the Ice Age Trail.
Donate
In 1987 the Cumberland Area Ski Touring Association (CASTA) was established and ski trails at Timberland Hills were started. Over the past 35 years, the cross country ski trails and organization have continued to grow. In 2023, construction began on a new single track mountain bike trail network and the process was completed to become a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity. Since it's inception, CASTA, and now THF, does not receive Federal or State funds. Memberships and donations are our main source of income. Click below to donate.
