Sunday River Skate Skiing

Sunday River has done a great job of accommodating the growing sport of skate skiing. The grooved sections of their 20 plus cross country ski trails are ideal for fans of skate skiing. Meticulously maintained, these grooves are both smooth and clear – ideal for skate skiers looking to both build and maintain their pace along the trails. The trails also course over a welcome diversity of terrain. Trails closest to the Sunday River Outdoor Center lodge are level enough for new skiers (or those looking to reacquaint themselves with the sport for another winter) to build confidence and speed. Further away, the trails span over rolling ground with accessible dips and turns. For the more adventurous skate skiers, there are several trails that resemble mini-downhill slopes. All of the trails are also well marked. Skate ski rentals are available at the lodge. It is also possible relax at the lodge with friends and coffee after an aggressive day of skate skiing.
