Cross country skiing is and always has been a way of life here at Lone Mountain Ranch. Beautifully groomed trails are a top priority. Trails groomed to our standard of excellence require a great deal of preparation before the snow flies, and then, when the snow does come, top-of-the-line grooming equipment and dedicated operators make all the difference.

Our 80km trail system is groomed regularly by a highly motivated grooming staff using state-of-the-art Pisten Bully 160 and Pisten Bully 100 snowcats, with tillers, and an arsenal of other custom designed implements which deal with virtually any snow condition! All this combined with a spectacular Montana mountain landscape provides our guests with skiing that is so good that most guests return year after year. The entire trail system is groomed for both skating and diagonal -striding.. Beautifully formed tracks are laid on one side, and a skating platform on the other side. Grooming is done each night to assure the best possible skiing the following day.

Best of all, our Nordic trails start right outside your cabin porch! Ski directly to your cabin after a brisk run and get ready for a massage, gourmet dinner, or just some social time in the Saloon.

Our ski trails were voted #1 in North America in a Cross Country Skier Magazine reader poll!
