Welcome to the Durango Nordic Ski Club!

The Durango Nordic Center is still closed.

We do not make any man made snow, we are dependent on Mother Nature to bring us snow. We need another big storm or two for safe and enjoyable skiing.
Please continue your snow dances!

Note: Our new winter weights 4-class series has been postponed. Stay tuned for more info!

Thursday April 4; went around snowmobile groomed Aspen , bench, Boyce, and north loops. Surprised how well the trails are holding snow. Just a few more days left before Norton’s melts out though. Ski at your own risk.

Boyce lake still skiing. A cool April 1. Some stormyness this afternoon. Couldn’t resist grooming it 1 more time @ 4 pm today. Should make for another day of good skiing tomorrow.😇

Another refresh today, cold overnight temps and approx 2” fresh snow with a groom from the snowmobile at 10 am.

All the trails slushyness groomed out smooth yesterday 2pm during closing duties. All trails still skiable 😅

Nestled at the base of Engineer Mountain and the Twilight Peaks, the Durango Nordic Center offers visitors some of the most stunning terrain in Colorado. We have 23 km of trails groomed trails groomed daily for skate skiing and classic skiing, and 5 km of trails maintained for snowshoeing. We are located across the highway from Purgatory Resort, about a third of a mile to the north.

PASSES: You can purchase your season pass or day pass at the Nordic Center or in advance online. You must have a trail pass to access both ski and snowshoe trails. There are different rates for snowshoe and ski day passes.

LESSONS & RENTALS: Advance reservations are requested for lessons and rentals. Please visit our lessons and rentals pages to make your purchases.

DOGS: Unfortunately, we do not allow dogs on our trails. If you are looking for a dog-friendly Nordic outing, Vallecito Nordic is a great option. Some of the trails at Chicken Creek Nordic also permit dogs.

FAT BIKES: Fat biking is not permitted at the Durango Nordic Center.

WEATHER: Current snow conditions (depth, precip, snow water equivalent, etc.) can be monitored via the Cascade #2 Snowtel site, which is located on the North Loop.

Due to varying snow levels and plowing operations, access to the Nordic ski and snowshoe trails can be challenging without using stairs. For our visitors with disabilities, please feel free to call ahead to check on conditions. We would be happy to help provide guidance and/or assistance if needed.
