Most of northern Wisconsin has a lot of natural snow, and it’s pretty fresh! Watch out, we may see another storm system later this week that could dump even more fresh snow on northern Wisconsin. This may affect conditions at several resorts, so call ahead before you go.
Meanwhile, southern Wisconsin has been spared snowstorms this year. Most of the snow found here is artificial, but is still great for skiing.
No matter where you go or when you get there, be sure to take some photos and send them to us via the Spectrum News 1 app.
Stay sheltered, have fun and enjoy the snow season across Wisconsin!
