Coloradans, and our state is home to an abundance of trails and Nordic centers
for these activities. Whether you’d like to stay close to your apartment in Boulder or make a day trip, the spots we share here
are among the best in our state for winter sports:
Breckenridge Nordic Center
Breckenridge Nordic Center is
the premier venue for skiing and snowshoeing in Breckenridge. If you’re a
newcomer to skiing, drop in for a lesson
before you embark on your journey through the mountains. In addition to great
trails for skiing and snowshoeing, private Snowcat adventures are
also available.
Brainard Lake Recreation Area
Brainard Lake Recreation Area is
located in Boulder County. This destination offers several miles of multi-use
trails and its high elevation helps keep these paths snowy longer than other
nearby options. Wildlife enthusiasts and those looking for a more secluded
experience will enjoy a day at Brainard Lake Recreation Area, as this location
is lesser-known and home to an abundance of wildlife such as deer, moose, and
more.
Aspen Snowmass Nordic Trail System
If you’re planning on a day trip or a weekend
stay, the Aspen Snowmass Nordic Trail System
is an excellent choice. This trail system continues to grow thanks to community
support, and the trail system now encompasses Aspen, Snowmass Village, and
Basalt with connected trails. As one of the largest free trail systems in the
country, this Nordic Trail System is ideal for skiers and snowshoers of any
experience level.
Eldora Nordic Center
Eldora Nordic Center is
less than an hour drive from Boulder and offers 40 kilometers of trails that
wind through alpine meadows and old-growth forests. Season passes are available
so you can enjoy skiing or snowshoeing any time the Nordic Center is open. When
you need to fuel up after your cross-country excursion, there are several local restaurants nearby.
