The Ute Mountaineer is excited to start its ninth season as the manager of the Snowmass Cross Country Center.  Our goal is to enhance the cross-country skiing experience by creating a professional and friendly atmosphere to come for cross-country skiing. 

The golf course at the center offers 10 kilometers of trails for skate skiing, classic cross country skiing, and snowshoeing.  From the Snowmass Cross Country Center, there are paths up Snowmass Mountain and to the Aspen golf course where the Aspen Cross Country Center is located.  Stop by for rentals, a lesson, or to set up a tour with our staff of nordic experts.  We  offer group and private lessons, cross-country and snowshoe tours, rentals, retail equipment and clothing, repairs, and tuning.  To fuel you up for your adventure, we offer beverages and snacks, or we can direct you to the conveniently located Sage Bistro a moment's walk away.
