SKIER RESPONSIBILITIES There are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce.
• Maintain control of your speed and direction at all times.
• Ski in a manner that does not endanger others.• Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are
not visible by others.• Obey all signs and posted warnings.• Keep off closed trails.• Report all accidents.
Be Safety Conscious Cross-Country Ski Areas Association
Not All Trails Go DownWorth Crossing the Country For Nearly 25 miles of groomed trails range from “easy does it” to “feel the burn,” so there’s plenty of fun for everyone at every level at the Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center. Our cross-country skiing is among the best in the US, now with options for snowshoeing and fat biking on our state-of-the-art trail system. You can enjoy the stunning views and fresh air either from the trail or sipping a hot beverage and bite to eat by the fireplace. We have everything you need to complete the experience—training programs, clinics, rentals, locker rooms, retail, and a world-class dining room with full-service bar where you can warm up before heading out.
Nordic Skiing FactsNordic skiing is any skiing that involves a free heel, and at the Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center, we offer both classic and skate skiing options.
What Is Classic Skiing?
The traditional style of cross-country skiing is referred to as “classic.” When using classic technique, the arms and legs and skis move straight in the direction of travel. Classic skis have a “kick zone” (the part of the ski under the foot) and a “glide zone” (the tips and tails of the ski). A skier moves forward by “kicking” and gliding on the skis.
What Is Skate Skiing?
Skate skiing, also known as “skating,” is a newer method of cross-country skiing. When using skating technique the skier pushes laterally, “skating” from ski to ski to move forward. This movement is similar to that used during in-line roller skating or speed skating. The skate ski base is completely smooth, allowing for maximum glide.
Private and group lessons, clinics, rentals, and training programs are available at the Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center. Please call 208.622.2250 or visit sunvalley.com/nordic for more information or to sign up.

The 58,000 sq. ft. Clubhouse offers the perfect shelter from the elements. It houses a full-service bar and restaurant, open for lunch, and a luxuriously appointed lounge with flat-screen TVs, locker rooms and showers, and a balcony with outdoor heating.

Ditch the Skis for a DayAlthough many people come to the Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center to cross-country ski, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy, including virtual golf, snowshoeing, or fat biking on our new trails!
What Is Fat Biking?
Fat biking is pure fun on two wheels! An off-road bicycle with oversized tires (typically 3.8” wide), and lower tire pressure enables easier bike handling over snowy surfaces. Fat biking can be enjoyed by all ages and ability levels. See reverse for trail map.
Fat Bike Etiquette
• Fat bikes are only allowed on designated trails, in the same direction as skiers (clockwise—no backwards traffic).
• Mountain bikes are prohibited (tires must be at least 3.6” wide).• Bikes must yield to all other users.• Ride on the firmest part of the trail. Do not ride in classic ski
tracks, and please leave room for skiers to pass.• Do NOT ride if the trail is soft—it will ruin the trail!• Be an ambassador of the sport—be polite, make yourself known
when passing, have fun, and be safe!
Go for a Snowshoe Tour
If you can walk, you can snowshoe! A pristine and meticulously groomed network of trails awaits, taking you across diamond-studded snow fields along Trail Creek or up to the White Coulds trail system with stunning 360° views. All abilities and ages are welcome! Rental gear is available. See reverse for trail map.
Brush Up on Your Golf Game
Even though it’s the season for snow in Sun Valley, you can still brush up on your golf game. Our virtual golf course lets you drive balls in the indoor comfort of the Clubhouse 365 days a year. Call 208.622.2251 or email golf@sunvalley.com for availability and lessons.
