WELCOME TO WINTER 2021!

As the weather gets colder, we know you’ll want to start planning your winter getaway.

The Nordic Center is open for the season and operating in a socially-distant manner. With an outdoor pass station, limited occupancy inside the Nordic Center, and socially-distant lessons consisting of a maximum of six participants per lesson, our operations team will follow all state and local health and safety guidelines. Rental gear will be sanitized after each use and masks will be required when indoors or during a lesson.

Snow Mountain Ranch’s Nordic Center has more than 120 kilometers of world-class terrain for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and fat biking in the Colorado Rockies for everyone from first-time recreational participants to elite racers. Beginners can ski on short easy loops around the Nordic Center while the experienced racer can train on longer expert trails with steeper climbs.

More than 25,000 skiers per year visit our property covering 5,100 acres of mountain meadows at an altitude of 9,000 feet.  Your canine companion can even join you on some trails, making sure both you and your pup are getting a good workout – but remember, leashes are required!

*Please respect our trail and others by using the designated trails for your sport to ensure the safety of others and prevent damage to groomed trails.  A footprint or snow shoe and bike track will melt through the snow and spread, creating significantly uneven surfaces. 

We look forward to another great year of Nordic skiing and can’t wait to have you here!

Stay up-to-date with the latest Trail Conditions here.

GET COMPETITIVE!

  • Stampede Race: March 13 + 14, 2021 (check back for more information on logistics of this race)
  • Looking to participate in the new Colorado Nordic Race Series? Visit the CCCSA website for more information and to register.
