Early Winter

Opening Right as Winter Arrives

South Villa at Northwood Escape opens November 10, 2026 — right around when Northern Minnesota's early winter season begins. Snow cover and trail conditions this early in the season vary year to year, so confirm current conditions with Mt. Itasca or local trail organizations before planning winter activities during that window.
