The Kids Nordic Ski Program offers ski instruction for beginners and more accomplished skiers ages 5-10, skiing games, winter nature activities, and ends with a Nordic Ski Festival and prizes for all.

The program will be offered starting January 9 ending February 27, 2026. Please arrive 30-45 minutes prior to lessons to get equipment and trail pass which are provided by Snow Mtn Ranch for the duration of the lesson. Some Covid precautions are still observed, wait times may be longer than normal and social distancing is still requested. Classic, skate and never-ever lessons are available.
Hot chocolate and bites of energy are available at the end of the lesson.

Parents are encouraged to help and will receive trail pass and equipment for the duration of the lesson if helping. Additional info contact Grand Nordic President Diana Lynn Rau 970-887-0547.

The Alley Loop is not your typical Nordic Marathon. It is both a premier American Birkebeiner Qualifying event and Crested Butte’s most outrageous costume party of the year! The course winds through snowy streets, alleyways, and narrow bridges through the heart of downtown Crested Butte. Once you make it through town, you are rewarded with pristine tracks and exhilarating vistas throughout the Crested Butte Nordic trail network.

If you like normal, you may want to look for another race.  If you are up for anything… this is right up your alley!

The Durango Nordic Center offers lessons and clinics for all ages and levels, from never-evers to experienced skiers. Lessons and clinics run throughout the season!

Bring your friends and your skis (or snowshoes) to experience the magic of exploring the Frisco Peninsula on candle-lit trails. Along the trails discover bonfires to warm up and enjoy snacks and drinks with friends. This event is organized by Team Summit, and all proceeds benefit Team Summit Nordic Program.

The mission of Ski for Light is to teach visually- and mobility-impaired adults the sport of classic cross-country skiing, to give participants who have already mastered the basics the chance to improve their skills and endurance, and to enable participants to just have fun on the snow.

Each year Ski for Light, Inc. conducts a week-long International Week that attracts upwards of 250 participants and guides. The location of the event changes from year to year in an effort to spread the Ski for Light philosophy and idea to as many parts of the country as possible.
