2020 Yellowstone Ski Festival Update
November, 2020
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.

SKIING AT RENDEZVOUS TODAY!
As you all know, we have been blessed with snow in town. This means we are now skiing at the Rendezvous Ski Trails. Passes, as always, are required. It also means our On-Snow Demo is back on! Try out all of the latest gear by heading to the demo tents by the Trailhead building Friday and Saturday from 10:00 - 3:00. From 3:00 - 5:00 today check out Aprés Ski (in the same area). Buffalo Bar in West Yellowstone has donated beer and Willie's Distillery will be there with Whiskey Samples. Souvenir beer cups are for sale for $5.
Although the snow is great for us, it isn't great for some who were planning to travel to Yellowstone Ski Festival. Unfortunately, Liz Stephen is unable to make the trip because of the weather. FORTUNATELY, Christie Aschwanden has agreed to speak in her place. She will be at the Holiday Inn speaking at 7:00 PM Friday.
We have new trails! Check out this map of Rendezvous Ski Trails showing the new trails.
