Cross-Country Skiing

The Colorado of cross-country skiing.

Clip-on some skis and set out at your own pace to enjoy. Michigan Living magazine readers rated Crystal Mountain's cross-country skiing trail network #1 in Michigan.

Northern Michigan's Cross-Country Skiing Destination




We have more than 40 km of meticulously-groomed cross-country terrain for you to explore; ranging from gently rolling hills through stands of aspens and oaks, to more challenging black diamond trails that cut across deep valleys and open fields. Be sure to try night skiing on our 4 km of lighted trails for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Trail maps are available at the Kinlochen Shop or Water’s Edge Shop.
