Welch Village

Welch Village is a ski area in southeastern Minnesota, sitting at 1,032 feet of elevation with 323 feet of vertical drop. The hill offers alpine skiing and snowboarding for the Twin Cities region, operating through the winter season on a relatively modest terrain profile suited to varied skill levels.

Access is straightforward from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. Winter conditions typically support operations from December through early March, weather and snow depth permitting. The compact vertical means this is a local hill focused on accessible skiing rather than backcountry or extreme terrain—ideal for day trips, families, and riders looking to log runs without significant drive time.
