East Fork Mink Creek Nordic Center

Located just 7 miles outside of Pocatello, East Mink Creek Nordic center is a dedicated nordic ski and snowshoe area.  It is run and operated by the City of Pocatello through a special use permit with the United States Forest Service and through volunteer services of the Pocatello Cross-Country Ski Foundation (PXCSF).  It hosts approximately 25K of groomed classic and skate trails. 

Season passes are on sale at the City Parks and Recreation Offices.  It is important that season pass holders sign-in at the yurt with each use, as this provides us with documentation of the necessary use numbers to justify the area staying open.  There is also a donation box located at the entrance to the trails for trail use when there is no attendant. 

This off-season PXCSF has been hard at work doing all kinds of trail work and area modifications.  Based on some of the feedback we received in our end-of-season-survey last year, we are just concluding the major work in developing some new trails that should make beginner and expert skiers, alike, happy.
