As marked on the illustrated map, one can ski on one or more groomed trail loops, which range in length from the Lodge and Cabin Loop ( .53 mile) to the Willows Loop (1.2 miles) to Riverside loop (1.66 + .8 access road mile out and back mileage) and the Summer Homes loop (3.13 miles) north around the full Turpin Meadow and creek.

The Lower Pasture and Mule Pasture Loops are listed as a combined, separate trail in JHNordic (3.2 miles on the perimeter or 5.5 miles with all the connector trails included).

TMR maintains the groomed trails regularly with its own on-site grooming equipment, and offers skate and classic skiing, along with snowshoeing into the surrounding Bridger Teton National Forest.

Turpin Meadow Nordic is managed by Ron & Bobbi Stiffler and the trail system was designed by Olympic Nordic Skiers and former owners Hans and Nancy Johnstone.

TMR is a cosy, rustic Nordic and winter trail getaway well worth the travel. The dog friendly, kid friendly family atmosphere is like having your own nordic lodge in the wilderness. Nordic equipment rental, tours and lessons are available.
