In this episode of Behind the Triad, Fort McCoy Garrison Commander Colonel Stephen Messenger helps DFMWR's Rodney Riedesel make snow at Fort McCoy's Whitetail Ridge Ski Area.

Ski Hill - Downhill Skiing & Snowboarding - Whitetail Ridge challenges skiers of all ages, from the novice to the experienced on the slopes supported by the National Ski Patrol. Enjoy downhill slopes with a vertical drop of over 185 feet. A self-loading T-bar serves the slopes where the longest run is 1,300 feet. Snowboarding your thing? Come check out the terrain park!
Snow Tubing - Grab a tube and head down one of the 5 runs! The 800' long slope, it's sure to be a thrill! The tubing area has a Magic Carpet lift, so the ride up is just as fun!
Cross Country Skiing - Ski over 5 miles of scenic country on our groomed trails. The abundant wildlife often make appearances on the beautiful trails! Trail use is free; equipment rental available for $15 - $20 a day.
Chalet & Ten Point Pub - Need a break from skiing or tubing? Come inside the Chalet to warm-up, relax and enjoy some food and drinks.
