The Yellowstone Ski Festival offers many exciting options for Nordic skiers and their families. We have fun for all ages. Of course, the week is full of Nordic clinics, races, demos, presentations, and exhibits. However, did you know that the Yellowstone Ski Festival also offers daily yoga and Pilates classes, childrens programs, and free novice Nordic ski and biathlon lessons? Bring the whole gang and experience the Nordic side of West Yellowstone.

The Yellowstone Ski Festival has recently released the schedule of events for November 24th through the 28th. Please note, this schedule is subject to change and any revisions will be posted online at yellowstoneskifestival.com/schedule.html
