Ski and snowshoe free of charge on the Blaine County Recreation District’s trails on Sunday, Jan. 8.
The BCRD is offering free use of its trails for the day. Additional Ski Free Days will be held Feb. 25 and March 22—two days after the official start to Spring.
The BCRD offers more than 200 kilometers of groomed Nordic trails, constituting what is considered one of the premier Nordic trail systems in North America. It grooms and packs 50 kilometers of ski and snowshoe trails around Galena Lodge where you can warm up with an espresso or bowl of homemade soup after an outing.
Dogs can ski and snowshoe trails around SNRA headquarters, the Harriman from SNRA to Cathedral Pines, Billy’s Bridge and Northwood and Titus across the highway from Galena Lodge.
