Winter Trails — More Information
Winter Trails Overview
Winter is truly NordicTownUSA come winter. Boasting great terrain, great snow for Nordic, and sunny skies, the area offers over 200km of groomed Nordic Trails every year. The BCRD manages and grooms over 160 km of this terrain including over 50km of trails around Galena Lodge in the heart of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Come enjoy a snowshoe on the many trails or visit the area for one of the premier events every year like the Boulder Mountain Tour, the culminating event of the annual Sun Valley Nordic festival.
North Valley Trails
The North Valley Trails cover almost 115k of terrain north of Ketchum and Sun Valley. The main systems include the Lake Creek trails, Billy's Bridge, North Fork Loop, the Harriman Trail, Prairie Creek Loop, and the Galena Lodge Trails. The North Valley Trails are mostly located in the beautiful Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Don't miss a stop at Galena Lodge to taste the amazing cuisine and good service from Don Shepler and Erin Zell who manage the lodge or take that first lesson. Over Galena pass, one can find the Alturas and Park Creek trails. Alturas Lake is supported by BCRD and offered by Sawtooth Ski Club. Park Creek is supported by Sawtooth Ski Club and the City of Stanley, Idaho. More info on the 40k of Sun Valley Nordic Trails HERE.
