Coach's Corner is a short cross-country ski segment in Theodore Wirth Regional Park in Minnesota, on city-managed land. At 0.1 mile one way, it is rated moderate and makes a quick link within the park's ski network rather than a destination on its own. The terrain is mostly flat, gaining about 30 feet one way between a low point near 853 feet and a high point near 888 feet. As an out-and-back, the full 0.2-mile trip adds up to about 70 feet of climbing round trip. The steepest pitch, around a 4 percent grade, sits near the midpoint. Winter is ski season here. Typical January averages from a nearby weather station in New Hope run to a high of about 24°F and a low around 7°F, with February only slightly milder at a high near 29°F. Several other ski segments start within a tenth of a mile, including Ridgeline Trail, Jim's Hill and Trail 18 Stadium. The Lesson Areas lie about 0.2 mile away.
