The Aspen Snowmass Nordic Ski Trail System is one of the largest free trail systems in the country! This is all made possible with the voter-approved funding of the Pitkin County Open Space and Trails Program, and a long history of community supported cross country skiing the upper Roaring Fork Valley.
The trail system has grown and changed over the years, and now we are proud to connect the communities of Aspen, Snowmass Village, and Basalt with an integrated system of trails.
We always strive to maintain perfect trails for both skate and classic skiing of all abilities and experience, as well as a select number of trails for winter walking and trails for enjoying Aspen’s winter with your dog. Our system hosts two fully-outfitted cross country centers operated by the locally owned Ute Mountaineer, that provide a full suit of rentals, lessons and equipment. Come explore the trails. Pack a lunch and ski from town to town. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery.
