Cross Country Ski FAQs
Are there any beginner-friendly ski routes?
Absolutely! We have 14km of beginner-level trails. Some loops stay close to the chalet, and others offer a chance to get further away and experience the quieter side of the park. We have two loops in particular that offer great motivation along the way:
The 2km Bunny Loop features 8 interactive stations along the way with educational, and sometimes silly, activities and trivia. Themes change every two weeks.
The 5km Cookie Loop is a great option for those with a sweet tooth. Pick up a free punch card from the Chalet and collect punches at all 5 mailboxes along the route to receive a free cookie back at the Chalet.
Where do I purchase a season pass?
Season passes are called memberships and can be purchased in person at the Chalet during regular business hours or online here. Memberships are valid for one year from date of purchase and gives you access to the winter and summer trail systems as well as our brand new 18 hole Squirrel Hill Disc Golf Course (open during the summer months).
Can someone walk/snowshoe on the trails with me while I ski?
No. Walking or snowshoeing is not allowed on any part of the ski trails. These activities can damage the trails and leave deep footprints in the trail that are dangerous and uncomfortable to ski through and can be impossible for our grooming equipment to remove. Snowshoeing/walking is only allowed on our designated snowshoe trails.
