Roller

Roller is a short, easy cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 2 miles from the town of Cable. The trail is an out-and-back that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with a high point of about 1,450 feet and a total climb of about 80 feet. The route is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.13 miles in, and the whole trip covers roughly 0.44 miles. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond show January highs around 19°F with lows near 3°F, while March runs warmer, with highs around 37°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run slightly cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by. Old Korte Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and The Plunge and Korte Inn are each about 0.2 mile off. For a change from the snow, the Namekagon River offers river fishing about 0.9 mile away.
