If your idea of a great time involves fast machines roaring through heaps of snow, check out the 255 miles of groomed trails in the South Fork, CO area, with innumerable off-trail opportunities on wide-open ridges, rolling parks and steep climbs. Access to some of Colorado’s most scenic wintertime vistas (at 12,000+ feet) will take your breath away!
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CONSULT LOCAL SOURCES CONCERNING DIRECTIONS AND TRAIL CONDITIONS BEFORE RIDING.
REMEMBER! NEVER RIDE OR SKI ALONE AND LEAVE RIDING LOCATION INFORMATION WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR WITH YOUR LODGE OWNER.
