Door Creek - Skiing

Details

New for 2025! Opening Date To Be Determined
An indoor warming shelter with restrooms, seating and a cozy gas fireplace is opening soon in Door Creek Park. We anticipate this location will be staffed with cross-country ski and snowshoe equipment rentals and concessions in early 2025. We have some work to complete to get us ready and an exact opening date is to be determined. See Winter Trails Map. 

Warming Shelter and Equipment Rentals
Once the shelter is officially open (date to be determined), if trails are listed as open for skiing, the warming shelter is staffed Wednesday - Sunday only for concessions and ski and snowshoe rentals, unless otherwise posted in the alert. Hours are subject to change. All winter activities are dependent on the weather and conditions. A permit is required to cross-country ski. No permit is needed to snowshoe/hike.
