Cross-Country Skiing

Aspen

Nordic skiing in Aspen is nearly as big and probably as popular as alpine skiing. The Aspen/Snowmass Nordic Trail System includes sixty kilometers of beautifully groomed trails and links Aspen and Snowmass Village via Owl Creek, the North Star Nature Preserve, the Snowmass Club and Aspen High School. If you’ve never tried this sport, the best place to start is at the Aspen Cross-Country Ski and Showshoe Center, at the Aspen Public Golf Course. Here you can rent equipment, take a private or group lesson and test your chops on relatively flat, nicely carved trails.
