Round-A-Lot is a cross-country ski route on the Pleasant View Golf Course in Madison, Wisconsin, on city-managed land. It is a short, out-and-back trip of about 0.7 miles with a total climb of 52 feet, so it works well as a warm-up or a quick stretch of time on the ski trails. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 26°F with lows near 10°F, while February runs about 31°F by day. The station sits a few hundred feet lower, so temperatures on the golf course may run slightly cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by. Pleasant View is about 0.1 mile away, and Upper Field and Lower Field are within a third of a mile. For time off the snow, Dudley Davis Quarry Park is roughly 5 miles away.
