For over 30 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. Traditionally, the Yellowstone Ski Festival takes place during Thanksgiving week and this year will be no different.  The event's highlights include a series of Nordic skiing clinics, the SuperTour races, Biathlon races, the Try It and Buy It Gear Demo (the largest public gear demo of its type), an Indoor Ski Show, and a variety of presentations, clinics, and classes.

Whether you are a beginning skier or an experienced racer, West Yellowstone is THE place to start your ski season. Each year, up to 3500 skiers from around the United States and Canada travel to West Yellowstone for the Yellowstone Ski Festival. Where else can you participate in ski clinics coached by former Olympic athletes and lifelong Nordic skiers, try out and purchase the latest ski gear and accessories, and share the Rendezvous Trails with so many great skiers? The Yellowstone Ski Festival offers all of that and more!

We hope that we will see you at the 2009 Yellowstone Ski Festival. Stay tuned to this website for regular updates as our planning progresses.  Please support our local sponsors and the equipment manufacturers who come to West Yellowstone for Thanksgiving. Without their support, the Yellowstone Ski Festival would not happen - please show them your appreciation!
