Nordic Skiing

Track Skiing

Aspen Snowmass Nordic Trail System. The Aspen Nordic Council maintains more than 60 miles of trails in the Roaring Fork Valley. Probably the most varied, in terms of scenery and terrain, is Trail 60 at the Snowmass Golf Course. For a longer ski, try the Owl Creek Trail, connecting the Snowmass Village trail system and the Aspen Cross-Country Center trails. More than 8 miles long, the trail provides both a good workout and a dose of woodsy beauty, with many ups and downs across meadows and aspen-gladed hillsides. You can take the bus back to Snowmass Village when you're finished. Snowmass Village, Colorado, 81611. 970/429–2039; www.aspennordic.com.
