Laurel Ridge Cross Country Ski Center

Great XC skiing conditions! There is a lodge where you can warm up and get your gear on. They sell snacks and soup, very nice staff

I am a big fan of Laurel Ridge for a bunch of reasons. Most important, they get a lot of snow if there is a good snow year. Fantastic place to learn or improve you’re Nordic or skate skills. Tons of groomed trails for both Nordic and skate with some ungrounded trails. Trails are very well designed with lots of cut offs in a larger loop trail which is huge when teaching or trying out new gear. It’ll cost you $10 but it is well worth it; helps fund the maintenance and the paccsa.org webcam which points directly to the snow gage and has temp.

This place is beautiful! It has awesome groomed trails. Great for first timers and experienced skiers.

Wonderful experience. Skis and snow shoes to rent. Hot soup with a vegetarian option. The trails were nicely groomed and a wide variety of distances to choose from.

For a beginner this was a great setup. It was easy to find. The warming hut was nice, and the workers were very nice. There were not very many people skiing and the trails fairly flat outside of a few small hills. Not sure what this would be like for advanced skiers, but it's great for starting out.
