Venue Overview
Frisco Nordic Center is the Town of Frisco’s cross-country ski and snowshoe area, set on the Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area a mile south of Main Street on Colorado Highway 9, with views of Peak One and the Tenmile Range. From a cozy cabin lodge, about 30 kilometers of groomed ski trails and 8 kilometers of snowshoe trails spread through the forest, and Summit County locals voted it the county’s top Nordic ski area in 2024. The center offers rentals, lessons, clinics, youth and Masters programs and ski tuning, and it hosts the Gold Rush Nordic Races, billed as Colorado’s longest-running Nordic event. The Frisco Adventure Park, with tubing and a beginner ski hill, sits just across the road.
