2020 Yellowstone Ski Festival Update

West Yellowstone is going back to its Roots and bringing back the Yellowstone Fall Training Camp. We will focus our efforts on providing “First Tracks” for Nordic Skiers in November. Thanksgiving week will be all about skiing! Due to the pandemic and economic factors we will no longer host the Yellowstone Ski Festival and the variety of off-snow activities included. We will provide groomed skiing, clinics, Biathlon and a FIS race (weather permitting) for all to enjoy.  Look to our website, Facebook page (@RendezvousSkiTrails) or Instagram (YellowstoneSkiFest) for continued updates.
