Bauer

Bauer is a short cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 2 miles from the town of Cable. The trail is a moderate outing, covering roughly 0.17 miles with a total elevation gain of 24 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.06 miles in, rising about 2% on a route that peaks at 1,490 feet and dips to 1,431 feet. Winter is the natural season for this kind of skiing. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond show January highs around 19°F with lows near 3°F, while February runs a little warmer at about 25°F. The station sits roughly 150 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly cooler. The Carousel, Two Step and The Plunge all lie within about a tenth of a mile, making it easy to link several short routes together. For time off the snow, the Namekagon River offers river fishing about a mile away, and Two Lakes campground is about 8 miles off.
