NEW TO CROSS COUNTRY SKIING?
Getting Started: You start out walking/shuffling along, like walking with trekking poles. Then you gradually hit your stride and will soon be 'gliding' along over the snow!
Need Some Help? We have a great Ski School that provides group and private lessons for beginners.
Need Gear? We will not be offering daily ski rentals this season, although you can rent gear with a ski school lesson.
Come Prepared: Unlike downhill skiing, once you get moving on XC skis, you will warm up quickly. Wear gloves, and dress in layers so as you get moving, you can adjust temperatures. There are no lifts, so you will be generating a lot of heat.
Is it Expensive? The absolute best thing (besides the awesome trails) is that Ogden Nordic is affordable.
GREAT FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
SNOWSHOEING
A GREAT WAY EXPERIENCE THE WINTER TRAILS!
Snowshoeing is like walking with big shoes on your feet. We have groomed trails so you can get into the woods and some beautiful overlooks. You can also get off the groomed trails and into the 'deep' stuff! Snowshoeing doesn't require the skills or effort that may be needed for Cross Country Skiing.
FAT BIKING
Ogden Nordic purchased a special groomer for the Fat Bike Trails, and we groom 10 miles of challenging trails with loops for every ability level. Over the past few years, we've learned the art of grooming the bike trails and have found that biking in the early morning is usually the best when the trails are frozen and firm!
Rumor has it that these Fat Bike trails are the best around!
EXPERIENCED SKIERS
Ogden Nordic has some of the finest groomed trails in the West. We groom up to 20 miles of trails for both classic and skate skiing. The trails are hilly and challenging, and you will find a lot of variety no matter what direction you go.
Our Ski School offers advanced group and private lessons for both skate and classic techniques with PSIA instructors.
