Grand Mesa Nordic Council Trails Snowboarding

About

The Grand Mesa Nordic Council Trails provide moderate snowboarding opportunities on the world's largest flat-top mountain. Located in western Colorado near Grand Junction and Cedaredge, the site sits at an elevation of 10,500 feet. The trail system spans approximately 51 kilometers or 31 miles across three distinct networks: Skyway, County Line, and Ward. The Grand Mesa Nordic Council grooms these trails for cross-country skiing, making them suitable for snowboarders. The area receives heavy annual snowfall, often exceeding 250 inches, which supports a season running from November through April. Visitors typically spend about eight hours on the trails. The site offers parking and restrooms for users. It is operated by a nonprofit organization under a special permit from the USDA Forest Service, specifically within the Grand Mesa National Forest. The trails are located approximately 15 minutes from Powderhorn Ski Resort. The moderate difficulty level indicates varied terrain that requires preparation for potential challenging conditions.
