As snow piles up like meringue on a pie, Midwesterners flock to frosty trails that promise outdoor fun and healthful exercise. At these three popular winter escapes, great cooks satisfy snowdrift-size appetites with fresh-backed delights.
Nothing beats gliding over a cross-country ski trail, zipping along on a snowmobile or snowshoeing in the clear, bracing winter air.
A few hours of snow-country activity would give any outdoor enthusiast a hankering for hearty fare from the oven. That's why everyone who stays at these retreats in South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin looks forward to bountiful breakfasts that start the day. If they're lucky, guests also can fuel up on afternoon cookies for energy -- and sweet satisfaction.
