Erdman Ski Trail is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Wisconsin, about 1.8 miles from the town of West Middleton. The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly 0.66 miles, with a high point of 937 feet and a low of 928 feet. The climb is minimal, with no elevation gain, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.28 miles in, where the grade reaches 8 percent. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Charmany Farm show January highs around 26°F and lows near 10°F, while February runs about 31°F by day and 13°F at night. The station sits about 100 feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly warmer. Several other ski routes lie close by. Roller Coaster is about 0.2 miles away, and Hill 6 and the Doubletrack Connector are each about 0.3 miles off. For a change of pace, the Sugar River offers canoeing about 6 miles away.
