The City of Middleton will celebrate a groundbreaking for its new cross-country ski lodge — the Middleton Nordic Center — at 3 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 16, at the CXC Outdoor Community Center (4355 Schwartz Road, Middleton). This event is open to the public.

Mayor Emily Kuhn will speak, as well as Bryan Gadow, city administrator; Yuriy Gusev, Central Cross-Country Skiing (CXC) director; and Steve Cohan, the chairman of the CXC Skiing Foundation.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CXC OUTDOOR COMMUNITY CENTER

The cross-country ski, hiking, and biking trails were designed and built in 2021, following a land donation to the City of Middleton by Dan and Natalie Erdman. The land was gifted with the intent of providing a home for CXC and outdoor recreational use for the community. Soon after, a road was built and paved, and a parking lot was added at the trailhead off Schwartz Road. The center now maintains about 8 miles of trails, including 2 miles with temporary snowmaking infrastructure to supplement natural snow and ensure reliable snow coverage from December through March. The trailhead lodge will contain a community lounge, restrooms, a physical therapy tenant, a cross-country ski rental shop, CXC office space, and the CXC Athletic Center.
