Cross-County Skiing

Wisconsin is a great place for Cross-Country, or Nordic, Skiing.  Over 700 miles of trails to explore, and events such as candlelight skiing, make this winter sport very popular in the state. It's a great way to get outdoors and enjoy winter's natural beauty.

The Colors of Autumn

After a very hot summer and a quick jump to fall, the leaves are starting to turn colors very fast around Wisconsin.  Some areas of the state are already at 50%! 

If you are looking to enjoy the autumn foliage show, check out Travel Wisconsin's Fall Color Report.  It will let you know where to go to get the best views of the lovely red, yellow, orange and gold leaves.

Don't wait too long - peak color will be a few weeks earlier for everyone this year.  And you'll be needed to get that rake out earlier too.

Wisconsin and Michigan Win Awards for "Mitten State Debate"

If you remember last winter Travel Wisconsin, the State Tourism office, used a mitten to represent our state for it logo for a seasonal campaign.  Many residents of Michigan were outraged, claiming they were the "Mitten State" (see blog post from December 8th, 2011).

Pure Michigan, that State's Tourism office, and Travel Wisconsin encouraged the debate, all in good fun, and then created the "Great Lakes Mitten Campaign" to collect mittens and warm clothing for charities (see blog post from January 10th, 2012).

Now Michigan and Wisconsin have won the U.S. Travel Association Mercury Award for their handling of "Mittengate".  By promoting the "controvery" both states enjoyed $17 million dollars of free publicity and collected 3,100 mittens and winter clothing items for Wisconsin charities.
