Cross-country skiing in the Colorado Rockies gives you a lot of choices. There are hundreds of miles of groomed trails for you to enjoy. Beginners will find something to love, and experts with more experience can explore the rougher backcountry that nature has provided for the avid outdoor enthusiast.

Another wonderful aspect of cross-country skiing is that you can start enjoying it right away even if you have no experience with the sport. Take a few lessons at a cross country ski area and you'll be ready to hit the trails like a pro.

Another good aspect of cross country skiing is that people of any age can enjoy it. Seniors can ski at their own pace for as long as they like - many people ski cross country into their eighties. On the other end of the spectrum, toddlers as young as two can ski along with parents. In some areas you can even bring your dog, if allowed.
