IMPORTANT UPDATE
2021 Yellowstone Ski Festival
In 32 years our committee has never had to make this difficult decision. Due to current conditions and without significant snow in the forecast we are unable to groom. With much regret the Yellowstone Ski Festival Committee must cancel all events at this time.
We hope you all enjoy a safe, healthy and happy Thanksgiving and we look forward to seeing you at this event in the future.
*For those in close proximity, we will groom the Rendezvous Ski Trails for recreational skiing as soon as there is sufficient snow.*
