HOURS OF OPERATIONS: Trails are open and accessible 7 days/week. Purchase a season pass or a daily pass online.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Ogden Nordic has a small Nordic Center (yurt) located at the South Gate of North Fork Park. The Yurt will not be open this season, so here is no indoor escape from the weather. There are picnic tables in a covered/somewhat protected area about 1/4 mile up the trail from the Nordic Center/parking area in the Ball Field. There are two porta-potties in the parking area - there is no running water. Please purchase a Season Pass or Daily Trail Passes online here.
On weekends there will be volunteer "trail hosts" at the South Gate entrance who can give you information about the trails and provide assistance with equipment etc as needed.
WHAT TO WEAR: Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are not like downhill skiing. Once you get moving you will get warmed up, so wear layers so you can adjust as you go along. Hat and mittens are essential. Medium weight wool socks are probably best.
