The Aspen/Snowmass Nordic Council operates a free Nordic trail system with nearly 80 miles of groomed double track extending throughout the Aspen-Snowmass area, and incorporating summer bicycle paths. Instruction and rentals are offered along the trail at the Aspen Cross-Country Center, Colo. 82 between Aspen and Buttermilk (tel. 970/925-2145), and the Snowmass Touring Center, Snowmass Village (tel. 970/923-3148), both of which provide daily condition reports and information regarding the entire trail system.
Independent backcountry skiers should consult White River National Forest, 806 W. Hallam St. (tel. 970/925-3445; www.fs.fed.us/r2), and two hut systems provide shelter on multiday trips. In addition, Blazing Adventures and Aspen Alpine Guides offer guided cross-country ski and other winter trips.
