Climb abound the PSC ‘Shag-Hound’ (Lamers Coach) and join 36 groovy cats while they trip out in Minnesota.  “Yeah baby”. 

We’ll be staying at the Country Inn, conveniently located nearby in Cottage Grove, MN.  The hotel features a breakfast room where complimentary continental breakfast awaits us each morning.

Saturday morning we’ll head to Afton Alps.  Surrounded by Afton State Park, this sprawling area offers enough runs to keep a skier busy, as it's massive for a Midwest ski area.  With 48 trails, four terrain parks and 18 chairlifts, there's also enough terrain variety to keep skiers happy.

Sunday morning, after a Shagging Saturday night, we’ll venture to Welch Village.  Welch Village offers a variety of 50 runs that cater to all skiing levels.  With a quartet of black-diamond runs, the front-face runs 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.
