Membership & Day-Passes

Our non-profit club depends on membership and day-use fees to cover trail grooming costs and to support the maintenance of our incredible trail network and user facilities.  Club membership offers great value and unlimited use of all our ski trails and facilities for the entire winter season.

Use of Groomed Trails

Our trail network is not designed for snowshoeing and currently there are no established snowshoe trails.  If snowshoeing within our trail network area we request that visitors stay off the groomed trails, travel adjacent to track-set trails and that trail crossings be infrequent and avoid disturbing the tracks set for classic and skate skiing.  If you happen to use our cabins or other facilities we would appreciate a donation towards their maintenance.

Please consider using the trails and areas outside of the Paulson Ski Trails for snowshoeing, such as around Nancy Greene Lake or along the roads and trails on the north side of highway #3.  Thank you!

Please note that dogs are not allowed within the ski area.
