Frisco Nordic Center

Great trails; friendly, helpful and informative staff; great rental equipment. Kind of a bummer at end of day the chalet is packed with sleigh ride customers– nowhere to relax

We had the most fun-​filled hour tubing today. If you like great family fun for anyone say age 5 and up this is the place. The facility is clean and there is a lot of parking. The staff inside and out were so friendly and they all seemed to enjoy being there.
Be sure to make online reservations. They do sell out, especially on holiday weekends. The cost is $ 25 per person. On average you can get in 3 – 5 runs.
I can not stress enough to that you must dress jut like you are going skiing, minus the helmet. It is a great idea for the kids to have goggles and their face covered. Today it was 18 degrees before the howling winds.
The process is simple. Pay, enter the yurt and watch a quick salty video, select your tube and then head for the magic carpet. Once at the top select a line, I think there were 5. You can go down as a single or pull together up to 4 tube. If you have children, they must be in their own tube. I recommend going down as a group to start so the kids get the feel of how fast you go.
Be sure to have your Go Pro, cell phone and selfie stick. You will want to catch the excitement for replay later!

.We’ve been here twice and really enjoyed our time here. Our first visit, we took advantage of a Groupon deal and took cross-​country ski lessons. We had an instructor who took us out on an intermediate trail, which was a little too advanced for my tastes. However, the man loved it. While I didn’t find xc skiing the ultimate winter sport for me, I had fun doing it. After we took a break for lunch, the man went back out for a second run.
Our second time, there was another deal via Living Social for equipment rental and a day pass, so we both went up. The man went xc skiing again and I tried out snowshoeing. I have to say that I really enjoy snowshoeing. And since I was out by myself for almost two hours, I was very happy with how well the trail was marked. I ran across one of the workers who had gone out to break the trail, so she gave me some pointers on which trail to go on and how far to go.
I would definitely return. We have had nothing but great experiences here. The first time I left my coat and I called and they held it there for me for 2 weeks, until I returned.
In addition to xc skiing and snowshoeing, they also have some type of buggy that can carry a kiddo or two, that is harnessed to an adult. There’s also a sleigh ride which looks pretty fun. The Nordic Center is in the midst of the Frisco Adventure Center, which offers tubing and zorbing (think plastic balls to roll around in) and in the summer, there’s camping on the grounds.
I found the prices to be very reasonable and affordable, even without the deals. The Nordic Center has a couple of tables indoors and couch seating. There aren’t lockers, but you can leave your things inside the Center; however, do so at your own risk. Our first visit, I left my water bottle, hat and gloves on a table while I went to the bathroom and got my skis. In that short period of time, someone took my (new) gloves and hat. However, on the second visit, the staff offered to put our stuff in the manager’s office, which was safer to me, based on my first experience.

I love this Center for the cross-​country trails. Even with the high winds, and tons of snow that fell while we were there, the trails were well groomed and diverse enough for everyone in our group. Although I did not snow shoe, a couple in our group did and they love the equipment and the trails that were available.
This was my 3^rd time at the Center, and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. The rentals and trail passes are affordable, and now, with the addition of the tubing, the Center has something for everyone in your group.
The views over Dillion lake, and up the valley, are so impressive that I forget how oxygen-​starved my lungs are and just breathe here. I would be out on the trails everyday, if I could.

This review is for the cross-​country trails, not for the sledding, snow shoeing or other activities available. We are classic cross-​country skiiers and it was great to see such lengthy routes available at different skill levels. We took a blue route that wore us out good!
There isn’t a lot of fantastic scenery through some of the green & blue trails, but they are well groomed and even on a Saturday they weren’t busy.
We have our own equipment so all we utilized the center for was purchasing our trail passes for the day.
This spot is convenient to get to from I-​70 if you don’t feel like driving the extra distance to Breckenridge for their nordic center.

Staff was helpful and friendly. They were busy the day we came to x-​ski but they made sure we were ready for the trails.
The nordic center is on the small side and does not offer lockers. You can throw your extra gear, shoes and clothes where you like though. The place was littered with peoples bags.
The reason for the 3-​stars is due to the poor trail signage. As a minimum you would think the green /​easy trails would be well marked.
If you are a rookie there are only two easy /​green trails. However the Frisco Bay trail is not too hard if you got around the 2 easy trails.
All-​in-​all it was a fun time. More signage PLEASE.

I love cross-​country skiing, and the well maintained 46kms of trails at the Frisco Nordic Center are great. I love the diversity on trails for different skills levels so you can either challenge yourself or take it easy if you are a newbie. The desk and fitting staff are friendly and efficient and very helpful for those just starting out.
The giant collie that is a mascot for the place is very friendly and getting some great cardio is easy on the trails here. $ 12 for a day-​pass and $ 17 for ski equipment rentals are reasonable, and you are in for a day of fun whether you are an experienced skiing or putting on skis for the first time!

Wonderful warm lodge & friendly staff who let us borrow sleds. Tubing, terrain park & a free little hill for sledding. The tubing park is $ 25 hr. Terrain park $ 15 and they have day rates too. Good times!

Seems a little unorganized. They gave us classic rentals instead of asking us if we wanted skate skis (we did). Their signage a maps need work. It’s easy to get turned around and they don’t have signs at hardly any trail junctions.
Fun time though. Good workout.

People are friendly enough, but definitely don’t have it fully together here.
Rental gear was decent quality, although the employees didn’t ask us which sport we were planning to do before charging us and getting us set up with the wrong type (there are different charges and types for classic and skate skiing).
My biggest issue with this place and why it slides to 3 stars: Extremely poor signage along the trails coupled with an equally poor trail map. Really, really annoying.
