Ski season is in full stride, and you know what that means: It’s time for Volks Ski.

Did you know that we’ve got over 400 km of groomed cross-country ski trails in Cook County? (That’s the biggest such network in North America.)

Volks Ski 400 is a season-long challenge that celebrates our trails and active way of life. Here’s how it works:

1.) Sign up at VolksSki.com.

2.) Go skiing! Remember, you can check trail conditions on the CCVB website: XC Ski Trail Conditions

3.) Track the trails you skied using the Volks Ski website. (Remember you can also count km skied as part of the Move It in February challenge!)

4.) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the end of ski season.

Wait, there’s more! For every ski day you log, you will get an entry into a drawing to win a Cook County adventure vacation.

Hope to see you out there! Carpe skiem! Ski you soon! That’s all, Volks!

Sincerely,

the pun-loving–er, fun-loving–staff of the Cook County Visitors Bureau
