Who is Nordic Valley for?
Never-evers, beginners and terrain-park lovers: Nordic Valley is your place. Skiers and snowboarders need not feel guilty about going for just a few hours to tinker around the rarely crowded hill at such an affordable price. However, for those seeking a little more challenge, Nordic Valley added the Nordic Express, a high-speed six-person chair lift, plus 100 more skiable acres that include more intermediate and expert runs.
Where to Stay
There are no lodging accommodations at Nordic Valley, but there are plenty of hotel and short-term rental options in Eden and nearby Ogden. Options include Wolf Creek Resort, Compass Rose Lodge, Alaskan Inn and more.
2024/2025 Season Update
The iconic Nordic Valley Grill, the resort’s only on-mountain dining option, is closed for repairs due to a fire in 2023. However, local food trucks will be on-site to provide various menu options. Additionally, night skiing will be paused this season, as the Nordic Valley team continues to focus on repairing and rebuilding the resort infrastructure. You can read the full update from the General Manager to learn more about the 2024/2025 update.
Run Highlights
-
Falling Star
Some trails are perfect for hot doggers who want to show off their cool moves to everyone on the lift. Falling Star is one of them. With its direct path down the Alpine lift line, this trail is a great opportunity for experienced skiers to showcase their skills. Practice well, and you may even get applause. If you wipe out, perhaps you'll become the falling star.
-
Gold Rush
The Gold Rush trail offers intermediate skiers the chance to ski from the top of the mountain to the bottom. Hit the Alpine lift to the mountaintop at 6,330 feet, and take your time cruising the curves of the Gold Rush on your tour to the end. Oh look, you’re right at the Alpine lift again. Why not go for a double before you take a rest at the lodge?
