Description:

Only 90 minutes south of Jackson is a quiet, family-friendly, affordable, yet well-developed Nordic Ski area on the western edge of the Wind River Mountains, in Pinedale, WY. White Pines Nordic trails include the Upper Trail and Lower Trail Systems. The Upper Trails have almost four miles of curvy well-groomed trails (shown in GPS map). The Lower System has approximately 10-12 miles of trails. The Upper Trails have the advantage of being at a higher elevation, thus having a longer ski season with more snow, even though both sections are at 8000+ feet elevation. In addition to the groomed trails of White Pine Nordic center, there are several nearby trails, such as Skyline road/Elkhart Park trail, for even more terrain and vistas to explore.

Parking: Available at White Pines Ski Resort

Winter Grooming: Trails are groomed regularly for optimal skiing conditions. Check for current grooming and trail conditions before heading out.

Dog Owners: Dogs are not allowed on the Upper groomed trails. Skiers with dogs are encouraged to use the trails south of the access road to the Ski Area.

Summer Conditions: Trails may be accessible for hiking during the summer months. Be aware of changing weather conditions and wildlife encounters.
