Why we have October Work Days! - April 5th, 2009
TRAIL PASS IS REQUIRED TO SKI AT THE AREA REGARDLESS OF DAY OR HOUR. Trail pass money funds grooming of the area. If no one is staffing the A-frame, simply put payment in red "Donation" box near parking lot. To reduce costs, the honor system is in place. Please be honest. The survival of the area depends on it. Wouldn't you like to see the area get better? Leveler trails, grooming machinery maintained, new structures, lights...? The growth potential is endless, but we need your help. Grooming isn't free even with volunteer groomers.

East Fork Mink Creek Nordic Center
Located just 7 miles outside of Pocatello, ID 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 red fee 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.
