For over 40 years, cross country skiers from across North America and around the world have traveled to West Yellowstone, Montana’s Yellowstone Ski Festival to begin their Nordic ski season on the Rendezvous Ski Trails. The Yellowstone Ski Festival takes place during Thanksgiving week. The event's highlights include a series of Nordic skiing clinics, competitive races, Biathlon races, clinics, and classes.

Whether you are a beginning skier or an experienced racer, West Yellowstone is The place to start your ski season.

2023 Ski Festival is a GO

We will focus our efforts on providing "First Tracks" for Nordic Skiers in November. Thanksgiving week will be all about skiing! We have decided to continue our focus on outdoor events. We will have groomed skiing, clinics, a biathlon, and a NRL race.
