A Guide to the Best Ski Trails

Cross-country skiing, also referred to as nordic skiing, is an excellent option for those looking to explore the snow-covered landscape, but at a more leisurely pace than flying down the side of a mountain. 

You have several options for your skiing adventure, including guided tours or self-guided outings.

• The Gold Run Nordic Center is open daily from December through March, depending on snowfall and weather. This area offers almost 30 km of groomed skate and classic trails, making it a great option for beginners. You can rent equipment right on-site, so don’t worry about traveling with bulky skis. 
• One of the best spots to go skiing is the Breckenridge Nordic Center. This all-in-one center has everything from lessons to rental equipment to tours. Knowledgeable experts can help teach you to feel comfortable on skis.

There are also other groomed trails throughout town. These paths include both track-setting for classic skiers and laying corduroy for skate skiers. Popular trails include:

• The Recpath, which extends from the Breckenridge Rec Center to Frisco Adventure Park
• Elk Dance Loop Trail 
• Boreas Pass Road in the White River National Forest

If you are looking to go on a guided outing, make a reservation with Colorado Adventure Guides. Their nordic skiing tours take place from the Summit County base camp and will take you along trails in the White River National Forest.
