Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing

Whether or not you’ve spent the day on the slopes, taking an hour to skate ski through quiet woods and circle a frozen lake is a privilege. You could head out to the Olympic venues south of town, but the easiest option is to walk the short distance from the village to Lost Lake Park. At the Cross Country Ski Center there, rent traditional cross-country skis, newer skate skis or snowshoes. Over 20 miles (32km) of trails offer options for beginner to advanced Nordic skiers, although note that even the beginner tracks here do have some elevation change. Two and a half miles of trails are lit for night skiing, and seven and a half miles of snowshoe trails allow you to go deep into the forest on your own.
