Welcome to the Durango Nordic Ski Club!
We Are OPen every day from 9 AM - 4 PM
Early season conditions exist - expect thin coverage and unmarked obstacles. We are shoveling hard to keep trails open. We currently have about 12 km of trails open to the public. We do not have enough snow to put in any classic tracks. Stay tuned to the website and social media for regular updates.
Please do not snowplow any of the hills - sidestep if needed to preserve the snow on the trails.

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.

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.
