Your winter adventure awaits! Book your stay and enjoy a winter wonderland full of activities with family and friends.
Learn the basics of classic classic, Nordic skiing! "Classic" skiing is also known as traditional cross-country skiing. The technique is similar to that of walking or running, but with skis on. We offer different packages from a one-on-one session to family lessons. We cater to both beginners and those who are advanced.
Skate skiing is a step up from classic skiing. The skis are different, and the technique is different. If you have ever ice-skated before, this style will likely come easier to you! Skate skiing is a more athletic style of Nordic skiing. It is super fun once you get the hang of it!
Love skiing? Get a season pass! Obtaining a season pass has its perks—along with the camaraderie that comes with being a part of this cross country ski community. Season pass holders receive 20% off all things Nordic Village, 2 complimentary single-use trail passes, and 1 free skate or classic ski lesson for personal use or use by a friend. Maybe most significantly, it includes 24/7 access to the trail system!
Not a skier? No problem! Enjoy snowshoeing instead. Hike through our snowy trails and enjoy the view. Great for all ages!
