Adopt a Trail
The Pocatello Parks and Recreation Outdoor Recreation Department staff and some very dedicated volunteers from the Pocatello Cross-Country Ski Foundation do most of the trail maintenance and grooming at the Nordic Center. With over 35 kilometers of groomed trails, keeping snow on the trails and keeping up with the grooming is quite the task.
The Nordic Center needs your help!
Winter Projects
Winter projects include cutting back brush from the trail, removing any rocks or debris from trails and shoveling snow back into bare patches especially on Dayley’s Didaction, Creekside and the race course loop.
Summer/Fall Projects
Yearly maintenance to improve and maintain trails also occurs during the summer and fall months. Projects include brushing the trails along with widening and leveling the trails which makes grooming easier and provides a better overall skiing experience.
