Durango Nordic Center features twenty kilometers of groomed trails for both classical and skate skiing. Separate snowshoe trails are provided too.
San Juan Mountains.
They regularly hold races and clinics there. Races include several nordic events, as well as snowshoe 5 and 10K’s. Ski clinics are open to all levels and include a women’s only event.
Nice place to rest.
Children will enjoy the Snowburner Programs aimed to teach cross country skiing through fun and games. There are two weekly programs that run from January to February, on either Sunday or Monday.
Another trend on the trails is fat tire biking, which are permitted on the cross country track. Bikers are asked to use the firmest part of the snow and not ride on or in the classic tracks, which are two parallel lines carved into the trail.
The Nordic Center is located at Purgatory Ski Area. It’s open every day from 9am to 4pm.
They have beautiful trails.
Nice place to rest.
