Welcome to the Durango Nordic Ski Club!
The Durango Nordic Center is still closed.
With the new snow, our grooming staff is working hard to get our trails open. PLEASE stay off of the trails - no skiing or walking - so they can do their job efficiently. If you see people on the trails, they are out there moving snow around to improve coverage for safety and assessing what trails are safe to open. For the latest updates on trail openings, follow @durangonordicgrooming on Instagram. As soon as we are open to the public, we will post an announcement on social media and on our website.
The Coke Race on December 28th is postponed to a TBD later date.

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.
