Odden's Ridge Run is a cross-country ski route in Burnett County Forest in northern Wisconsin, on county land. The run is an out-and-back of about 2.5 miles, with a total climb of 288 feet and a high point of 1,369 feet. The route is rated hard, and the steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.11 miles from the start, where the grade reaches 10%. Winter is the natural season for this ski run. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cumberland, WI, show January highs around 19°F with lows near 0°F, and February is similar at about 24°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the ridge run a little cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by.
