Cross Country Skiing at Auburn Ski Club
The Auburn Ski Club has the reputation for having some of the finest grooming in the area. Our state of the art grooming equipment produces perfect track for traditional “classic” skiing and for ski skating. The location of the training center at 7,200 feet usually guarantees an early opening, great snow and a long season. We encourage all members to get out and enjoy our trails for recreation, training or racing.
The 20 km of trails are groomed every day except on Mondays and Tuesdays.
