Trailhead

Park at the County Line Trailhead. Gear up and use the restrooms before heading out on this easy 1 hour ski. The trail starts with a gentle descent. It’s a lot easier and more fun for kids to learn to kick -and-glide while gently going down hill.  The whole loop should take approximately one hour with kids. This route is also dog-friendly, but please clean up and pack out all waste.
