Nordic Skiing

For more winter fun, the beautiful Mad River Valley offers more than 100 km of groomed cross-country trails at two local centers.

Ole’s Cross Country Ski Center is located at the Warren-Sugarbush Airport. Ole’s offer 45 km of trails groomed for classic skiing and ski skating. Skiers of all abilities can enjoy panoramic views of Sugarbush and the rare quiet of deep woods. Programs there include the Bill Koch Youth Ski League, a cross-country ski program for kids from 6 – 13 years old. It was founded over 20 years ago by the United States Ski Association and is named for Bill Koch, the 1976 Olympic Silver medalist in the 30 kilometer event.
