Track Skiing

McCoy Park. The prettiest place for cross-country skiing is McCoy Park, with more than 19 mi of trails groomed for traditional cross-country skiing, skate skiing, and snowshoeing, all laid out around a mountain peak. To reach McCoy Park, take the Strawberry Park chairlift—a plus because it gets you far enough from the village that you're in a pristine environment. The groomed tracks have a fair amount of ups and downs (or perhaps because the elevation rises to 9,840 feet, it just seems that way). Beaver Creek, CO. 970/754-5313. www.beavercreek.com. Open Dec.-mid-Apr.

Beaver Creek Nordic Sports Center. Lessons, equipment rentals, and guided tours are available through Beaver Creek Nordic Sports Center. Strawberry Park Condo Bldg., at the bottom of Chair 12, Beaver Creek, CO, 81620. 970/745-5313. Daily 9-4.
