Stadium is a short, flat cross-country ski route in northwest Wisconsin, just across the state line from Minnesota. The course is an out-and-back of about 0.28 miles, with a total elevation gain of 21 feet, so it works well for a quick outing or as a connector between other routes in the area. Winter is the natural season for this one. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Superior, Wisconsin, show January highs around 23°F with lows near 6°F, and snow falls on about seven days a month in December and January. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the high point on this route, so temperatures up top run a little cooler. Stadium makes an easy pairing with Stadium West, which lies about 0.1 mile away, and with Big Bend and Black Bear, both within a quarter mile. For climbers, Spirit Mountain boulders is about 1.2 miles off.
