New to Cross-Country Skiing and want to learn how while taking a tour with an expert Naturalist? Join one of our PSIA Certified Naturalist Guides on a snowy adventure through Grand Teton National Park!  During our half day (4hr) guided beginner cross-country ski tour we’ll provide winter ecology interpretation and professional nordic skiing instruction.

The Day

With towering mountains and over 14 miles of groomed nordic trails, cross country skiing in Grand Teton National Park is one of the best kept secrets in North America.  These programs are offered as small groups with a maximum of 7 participants (call for larger groups). Jackson Hole EcoTour Adventures is the only GTNP authorized concessionaire with all PSIA certified nordic instructors so you know you are touring with the best. 

Activity Level: Leisure

This type of tour will focus on taking advantage of teaching moments to learn about cross-country skiing technique and winter ecology. We'll have plenty of time to stop and take photos and we'll be moving at a pace where you can easily hold a conversation with friends.

We offer private programs that can cater to any activity level.
