Priest Lake Nordic Trail Update

Bookmark This Page

Thank you for visiting Priest Lake, Idaho this winter! Compliments of  Priest Lake Nordic Groomers &
Priest Lake Chamber Of Commerce  Idaho Park and Ski System

Please do not ride ATV’s or snowmobiles on set tracks.

Most of Hanna was groomed 3/17/23. We are trying something new to deal with the spring conditions by grooming in the afternoon when the snow is soft. We were able to put down deep tracks on Kinnickkinnick, Big Cedar, Buffalo Berry and Bead Lilly for a total of 6 miles. In the mornings the tracks will be frozen but very fast. Later as the snow softens we should have very enjoyable skiing. We are trying to keep things going until the first if April. Enjoy the sunny skies and warm temperatures.

 **On the steep section of Marsh Loop a run- away-skier ramp WAS CREATED in case skiers pick up too much speed. For the steepest section there is no dishonor in walking the short way to the river.
