Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing at Glacier Outdoor Center

Glacier Outdoor Center is the perfect place to begin your winter adventures in the Glacier National Park area. We groom 10 Kilometers of cross-country ski trails for both traditional and skate skiers. The 10km trail system meanders and rolls through moderate terrain on over 100 acres in West Glacier, just behind Glacier Outdoor Center. Trail fees are only $5 per day, $20 per week, or $50 for a season pass!

New this year, bring your furry friends out and try doggie skijoring, an activity that's both thrilling for you and a great way to get your dog some exercise in the winter! Pets are allowed on trails after noon every day. Also new this year, we have pulkas for rent and for sale. A pulka is a tow-behind ski sled, great for taking the kids out for a ride

Are you new to the sport, or left your equipment at home? Glacier Outdoor Center provides ski and snowshoe rentals throughout the winter season. Skijoring equipment is available for rent too, so come try it out!

Cross-Country Skiing in Glacier National Park

Snow sports provide an excellent way to enjoy Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest in winter. Ski trails and routes provide a range of scenery, terrain, and difficulty. While the ski trails within Glacier National Park are not groomed, the access to trails is great! The Going-to-the-Sun Road and the Camas Road are the entry points to the park for cross-country skiers and snowshoers to blaze their own trail. As a courtesy to skiers, snowshoers should maintain a separate track where possible.
