Winter wonderland on a budget❄️🧤🥾 One of my favor Winter wonderland on a budget❄️🧤🥾One of my favorite things about Lake Superior travel is that depending on where you visit (north shore trends more expensive!) it can be relatively budget-friendly especially in the winter. A lot of ski hills have weekday specials, Nordic ski rentals and passes are often less that $50 a day, you can book a group sauna session at a discount, hiking is free other than park passes and lodging is discounted compared to the summer.
