When skiing on groomed trails please...
-
Leave dogs at home (unless it’s a designated dog trail.)
-
When stopping, move to the side of the trail.
-
Obey all signs including one-way trail designations.
-
Give downhill skiers the right-of-way. Don’t pass going down-hill.
-
Ski within your ability (the more you ski, the better you’ll get!)
-
Single file to the right on a crowded trail.
-
Let folks know you’re passing with a pleasant warning.
-
If you fall, fill it in!
-
Don’t litter: take out what you bring in.
-
Make sure you have all required passes or permits.
backcountry ski opportunities
While this website is focused on the Sno-Parks and grooming opportunities, there are places to venture into the back country. Many destinations are found out of all Sno-Parks, but primarily Crystal Springs and Gold Creek Sno-Parks within I-90.
East of I-90, Blewett Pass has a multitude of great backcountry destinations and you may want to check out Salmon La Sac in the voluntary non-motorized areas. See Sno-Parks pages for maps.
