The Natrona County Parks Nordic Ski Area offers 15 miles of machine-groomed trails that wind through the mature forests of Casper Mountain. This is one of the few lighted trail systems in the region, providing a rare opportunity for night skiing.

More than Just Skiing

When you have had enough of skiing, you can checkout the Natrona County Parks snowmobile trail system. Explore 60 miles of machine-groomed trails and an additional 20 miles of ungroomed trails.

The snowmobile system is located on both Casper and Muddy Mountains, with trailheads located approximately eight miles south of Casper on Casper Mountain Road. The trails wind through miles of scenic canyons, forests and spacious meadows.

Casper is located nine miles north of the ski area and is the metropolitan center of Wyoming. It offers a variety of winter activities and accommodations. There are a range of cultural activities, such as museums, galleries, theater and the planetarium to choose from.
