DescriptionThe Catamount Nordic Center is part of a private development. The Nordic Center is different than any of the other areas in the valley in that it has an abundance of flat to easy rolling terrain and continual wide open views which include Lake Catamount, Mt. Baldy and Pleasant Valley. The owners of the Lake Catamount Development have extended a welcome to the community so please respect private property and the privilege to use this area.

The nordic trails are open daily. Trail use requires either a Steamboat Valley Nordic Pass ($395), a Catamount Pass ($200) or purchase of a day pass for $18.

The restaurant at the Club House will be open for meals Wednesday through Sunday. Hours are from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
New this year is our 4 week clinic series on Fridays. On these Friday mornings, ladies can sign up for a 4 week progressive clinic taught by Emily Lovett and Katie Lindquist. The clinics include 1 1/2 hours of Nordic instruction for 4 consecutive Fridays.(call for specific dates and times) The cost for the sereis is TBA. $10 dollar rentals will be available for clinic participants.
