It was a challenge to communicate with both the staff and other guests. I think that problem was related to the fatigued mouths of said staff and guests; they were probably sore and exhausted from so much licking of boots. As for value, I wouldn't consider anything here to be of value; this is a black-hole of value.

This was the first time my wife and I visited and skied at Ariens Nordic Center (we usually ski…read moreLapham Peak, Greenbush or Iola). We had a great time. This is kind of a long review, but I'm really reviewing three different things at the ANC (the xc ski trails, the biathlon range, and the reception/rental/shop). First the snow conditions and grooming report for yesterday. They make snow at ANC, so there was still a deep manmade base of snow there, despite the recent warm weather. The trails were in good shape yesteday, and very well groomed for skate skiing and classic skiing. As to the layout of the xc ski trails, they are well designed. The course is longer than I expected it to be. The trails are well-labeled and signed, so it is easy to stay oriented when you are out skiing. Lots of hills on the trails, but nothing too long, and nothing too steep (no hills the length and steepness of hills at LP or GB). You can though get a real work-out if you are a serious skier. Overall, the trails at ANC are very different in feel compared to LB, GB or Iola. Not as natural feeling as those places (a lot fewer trees), and ANC has a more "designed feel" to it. It's more like you are driving around Road America, or playing a round on a well-designed golf course. Much of the course is not sheltered from the wind, so take that into account if it is a windy/cold day, and you are deciding on your kit. As to the ANC's biathlon range, it is clearly Olympic or world-class quality. I've been around rifles and xc skis all my life, but yesterday was the first time I ever had the chance to shoot a biathlon rifle. It's not particularly complicated to learn (especially if you have experience shooting). Due to the number of folks who wanted to try the range, I only shot one set of five targets. Shooting from a prone position, and with range manager Sean Becker's clear instructions, I was able to hit five targets in a row (Booyah!) An extremely satisfying feeling to watch the black circles turn white, just like in the Olympics on TV. The 22-caliber biathlon rifles they supply have practically no kick to them when you pull the trigger (that's a good thing for new shooters). This would be a great place to introduce kids to the sport, and I think they would find it cooler than playing a video game. Kids as young as 10 (with adult supervision) can use the range. As to other facilities at ANC, at the trailhead there is a spacious, stylish reception center, and it's stocked with lots of new, good-quality rental equipment. The reception center has several tables to spread out on, if you bring your own lunch, and nice restrooms (with ample space to change clothes). They have a small "ski shop" in the reception center that sells high-quality ski clothing and ski waxes. Yesterday the ski shop offered a St. Patrick's Day special, with everyone who skied the trails getting a free coupon for a green beer or other beverage post ski. So we skied, then walked across the parking lot to the new big Ariens Hospitality Center ("AHC"). There we got a free beer and juice, and they also had some nice lunch offerings (Chili $6 with all the fixings, corn beef & cabbage $11, etc.). There was a full bar with a friendly young bartender (enthusiastic, even if he was inexperienced and brand new on the job). The chili we ordered was meaty and top notch. The AHC looks out over a small lake (Round Lake), and has a grand fireplace. The center's great hall is large enough to host a large wedding, or corporate event. When we were there, there was a good fire roaring in the fireplace, and the couches around the fireplace were a good spot to enjoy the beer and the chili, and to strike up a conversation with other skiers. Felt sort of like a nice downhill ski lodge apres ski, but not as crowded. Overall, the ANC is different than any other xc ski facility/place we have visited in Wisconsin. If you are familiar with how Kohler does hospitality, or creates recreational facilities, Ariens is taking something of a similar approach with the ANC. That is, Ariens is offering a "high-end xc ski experience"; but the nice thing is they are doing that (at least this first season) at a lower cost than if you were going to Kohler, or certainly at a lower cost than if you were going to a downhill ski resort area (in Wisconsin or anyplace else). It will be interesting to see if they expand in the future (like adding a hotel, or mountain bike trails). Either way, they are off to a strong start in their first season with what they've built so far. If you have not tried ANC, we highly recommend it.

I took a class here on beginner metalsmithing. The instructor spent the first 1/2 hour kind of…read moreshowing us the equipment and then told us to design a box on paper and card stock for the next 3 hours. The rest of the time he talked about the art he has made and then just sat around and chatted with students. There was no teaching happening at all. If you do take a class here, please call them first to get a full understanding of what the class entails, along with their refund policy. I have taken classes like this before and there has always been a curriculum of sorts and a structured, guided class to ensure each student would have the best opportunity to learn the skills described in the syllabus. I was very dissatisfied and they would not honor even a partial refund. I only attended one class (out of a 6-class course), as I didn't want to continue to waste my time and their resources. And I had a bad feeling each class would be lots of wasted time with no teaching or guidance. I had signed up for another class after that one, but decided to cancel that one immediately. Extremely disappointed. Will never go back again.

My golfing buddies found this place and we rented a simulator for a couple of hours. It's a small…read morespace that has three simulator screens. They also have this machine that helps you with having the perfect golf swing. There a lot of options with the simulator. We started off with the driving range to warm up a little bit, and then we did a 2 person team scramble (so we can get through as many holes as possible). What's cool is there are tons of actual golf courses that you can choose from. We ended up selecting this popular course that's in Scotland. You can bring your own clubs, which is good so you're more comfortable with your play. The big hump to get over was hitting the floor with your club. On regular golf course, you hit the ground you make a divot from the grass. It's a little harder when you hit the floor here, but when wasn't that bad. Once you got in a rhythm, it wasn't that bad if you accidentally hit the floor. Another difference from real play is once you get the ball on the green, you're done with the hole. You don't need to put. As someone who is terrible at putting, I was excited by that. The reason is the ball needs to hit the screen in order to register the hit, and that impossible to do with putting. You can bring your own food and drink here. They do sell sodas, water and a couple of other drinks for $1-2, and Jack's Pizza for $10 which is a rip off...but whatever. If you're an avid golfer, this is a great place to go during the winter as you can go whenever you can, or you can join one of their Monday/Wednesday leagues.
