Frequently Asked Questions
NEW TO CROSS COUNTRY (XC) 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 daiy ski rentals this season, but will offer Seasonal Ski rentals for kids. Click here to see where to rent skis in the area.
Come prepared: Unlike downhill skiing, once you get moving on XC skis, you will get warmed 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 alot of heat.
Is it Expensive? The absolute best thing (besides the awesome trails is that Ogden Nordic is inexpensive. Purchase your season pass or daily trail pass here.
GREAT FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY.
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. Check out our maps here.
Our Ski School offers advanced group and private lessons for both skate and classic techniques with PSIA instructors.
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 to 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.
We have limited snowshoe rentals on weekends. Click here to see where you can rent snowshoes elsewhere.
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 level of ability. Over the past 2 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 they have frozen and firmed up over night! Rumor has it that these Fat Bike trails are the best around!
