Kids ‘N’ Snow

The Kids ‘N’ Snow Program in West Yellowstone takes the fear out of first-ever winter experiences. Kids and their families can get outdoors in the winter and try a new activity, like ice-skating, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing in a safe environment.

Since its inception eight years ago, the program has expanded to more than 1,000 participants, spanning more than 10 states and several countries over four weekends each winter. West Yellowstone Kids ‘N’ Snow weekends will be held December 17, 2023, January 7 and 13, February 10 and March 9, 2024.

Rendezvous Ski Trails

Where gold medal grooming and reliable snow come together to create a Nordic skier’s dream, the Rendezvous Ski Trails consist of more than 35 kilometers of gently rolling, beautifully groomed trails that wind through tall stands of lodgepole pine and open meadows. The trail system is located entirely on U.S. Forest Service land and is managed through a cooperative partnership between the Forest Service, the West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce and the West Yellowstone Ski Education Foundation (WYSEF).

Ideally situated at just over 6,800 feet, the Rendezvous Ski Trails provide perfect conditions for high-altitude training or recreation at any time of the year. The altitude and location adjacent to the Continental Divide also mean that snow comes early and stays late.

Trail passes are required when using the Rendezvous Ski Trails. From December 1 through March 31 daily passes can be purchased at the trailhead. Daily, season and family passes are available at the Hebgen Lake Ranger Station, the West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce, and Freeheel and Wheel.
