Directory coverage by state

Alabama

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts.

Known gaps: Cloudmont operator site could not be reached (cloudmont.com certificate mismatch). Seasonal and weather-dependent: January 2026 and February 2026 news items found by web search before the search quota ran out reported it operating in 2025-26, and an older directory listing called it closed; it did not run some earlier winters. Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No other Alabama facility found.

Alaska

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 2 alpine resorts, 6 local ski areas, 1 nordic centers, 3 public cross-country trails, 2 backcountry resources, 3 guided operations.

Known gaps: All nine alpine names on the Wikipedia list were considered; Alyeska's own site was blocked, Mt. Eyak's site did not render, and Moose Mountain has no reachable operator site. Hilltop, Arctic Valley, Eaglecrest, Skeetawk and Ski Land were checked on operator sites but most gave no dated 2026-27 openings. Most coordinates are Wikipedia ski-area points (approximate). Valdez and Girdwood heli operators could not be verified. The web search quota ran out during the run, so community Nordic systems (Kenai Peninsula, Mat-Su, Southeast, Interior beyond Fairbanks), small rope tows, and cat or guided backcountry operators beyond those listed were not searched and the state file is partial.

Not yet confirmed: Valdez heli-ski operators (e.g. Valdez Heli-Ski Guides, Alaska Rendezvous Heli Guides), Chugach Powder Guides (Girdwood), Hillberg Ski Area (Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson), Thompson Pass backcountry (Valdez), Hillside ski trails (Anchorage), Russian Jack Springs Park trails (Anchorage), Government Peak Recreation Area (Mat-Su Borough), UAF Skarland / West Ridge ski trails (Fairbanks), Goldstream Sports Ski Trails (Fairbanks), Juneau Nordic Ski Club groomed trails (Montana Creek Road, Mendenhall Campground and Lake, others), Tony Knowles Coastal Trail (Anchorage), Winner Creek Gorge Trail (Girdwood), Other Alaska community rope tows and Nordic clubs (Tsalteshi Trails Soldotna, Girdwood Nordic, Eagle River Nordic, Nome, Sitka, Ketchikan, Kodiak).

Excluded: SKIKU (Youth cross-country ski instruction nonprofit listed by CCSAA; no facility or trail system of its own); Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage (as a separate record) (Club that grooms Kincaid and other Anchorage trails; covered by the Kincaid record and unresolved Anchorage trail entries).

Arizona

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 2 alpine resorts, 2 local ski areas, 1 nordic centers.

Known gaps: The four alpine areas on Wikipedia and the one CCSAA Nordic listing are recorded. Elk Ridge and Mt. Lemmon operating status could not be confirmed. Closed or historic Arizona areas were not researched. Web search budget ended before Nordic discovery could be broadened (Flagstaff Fort Tuthill, Mormon Lake).

Not yet confirmed: Mormon Lake Ski Touring Center, Fort Tuthill winter trails (Flagstaff), Kaibab Plateau and Williams area Nordic trails.

Excluded: Wing Mountain Snowplay and other Flagstaff snow-play and tubing parks (Tubing and sledding only.).

Arkansas

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No Arkansas snow ski facility, indoor snow center, dry slope or ski simulator found; one low-quality web page claimed Arkansas ski resorts without naming any, and was not relied on.

California

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 18 alpine resorts, 9 local ski areas, 1 private clubs, 10 nordic centers, 2 guided operations.

Known gaps: Status partial. (1) Sno-Parks: California has about 21 State Parks Sno-Park sites and 18 on National Forest land; none were individually verified or recorded, and no official list of groomed Sno-Park Nordic trails could be retrieved (only a Sugar Pine Point State Park lead). (2) Coordinates: OpenStreetMap geocoding was rate limited, so most coordinates come from Wikipedia and are marked approximate; only Palisades, Heavenly and Sugar Bowl are address-geocoded base points. Mammoth, Tamarack and High Sierra Snowcat use town-level reference points, and Wikipedia ski-area points may be mountain points. (3) Pass affiliations were recorded only where an operator page named the pass; Vail Resorts sites were partly blocked by a waiting room, and Mammoth, Sugar Bowl, Homewood, Dodge Ridge and the Big Bear mountains have no pass entry. (4) Private clubs (for example Donner Summit ski-club lodges) and ski-club rope tows were not enumerated. (5) No heli-ski operation was found in California; cat operations beyond Pacific Crest and High Sierra (for example guided cat days at Sierra-at-Tahoe, Bear Valley guide partners, Mt. Shasta area guides) were not verified. (6) Nordic centers beyond those on Ski California and the first CCSAA pages (for example Plumas-Eureka, Hope Valley, Yosemite beyond Badger Pass, Lassen area, Mammoth backcountry) were not checked. (7) Mt. Waterman, Alta Sierra, Coppervale, Buckhorn and Badger Pass Nordic status could not be confirmed. (8) Nordic discipline lists default to classic where skate or classic grooming was not stated. (9) Announced dates are as printed on pages fetched 2026-10-29. (10) Some operator names (Vail Resorts, Alterra, Mammoth Resorts, POWDR) are from site footers or general knowledge, not explicit operator statements.

Not yet confirmed: Mt. Waterman Ski Area, Sugar Pine Point State Park groomed Nordic trails (Tahoma), McGowan Cross-Country Ski Area (Lassen National Forest), Virtual Snow (Santa Monica), SkyTechSport Beverly Hills, Urban Snow (Bay Area indoor ski and snowboard center), Adventurous Sports (San Francisco indoor ski school), SnowCal (proposed indoor ski center, Los Angeles area), California Sno-Park sites with groomed Nordic trails (about 21 State Parks sites and 18 National Forest sites).

Closed or historic: Lassen Ski Area (Lassen Volcanic National Park) (permanently closed), Kratka Ridge (historical).

Excluded: Diamond Peak (Located in Nevada (Incline Village); listed by Ski California); Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe (Located in Nevada (Reno); listed by Ski California); Lee Canyon (Located in Nevada (Las Vegas); listed by Ski California); Sky Tavern (Located in Nevada (Reno); listed by Ski California); Alpine Meadows (Treated as the Alpine base of Palisades Tahoe (duplicate of palisades-tahoe)); Mt. Shasta Board & Ski Park (Same facility as Mt. Shasta Ski Park (PNSAA name)); Big Bear Mountain Resort (combined listing) (Represented as three records: snow-summit, bear-mountain and snow-valley); Tubing and snow-play-only areas (for example Planet Kids at Soda Springs, Bear Valley tubing, Kingvale tubing) (Tubing and sledding are out of scope; only the ski lifts or Nordic trails at those sites are recorded); Lassen Volcanic National Park winter routes (NPS states there are no groomed routes and no designated backcountry ski areas).

Colorado

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 23 alpine resorts, 11 local ski areas, 24 nordic centers, 3 public cross-country trails, 2 backcountry resources, 4 guided operations.

Known gaps: Alpine list is believed complete for lift-served Colorado Ski Country members, Vail Resorts and Alterra areas and the known community hills, but status for several small hills is unknown (Granby Ranch, Hesperus, Kendall, Cranor, Lake City, Chapman, Lee's, Cuchara) because operator pages were empty, outdated or rate-limited. The Nordic list is seeded from the CCSAA directory and is not exhaustive. Hut systems cover only 10th Mountain and Summit Huts. Guided cat and heli operators are only partly covered. Web search budget ran out, so no extra discovery searches were possible late in the pass. Many metrics come from Wikipedia tables dated 2020 and should be refreshed from resort stats pages. Coordinates for about half of the Nordic records are town centers, not trailheads, because OpenStreetMap geocoding was rate-limited.

Not yet confirmed: Vista Verde Guest Ranch (Clark), Beaver Creek McCoy Park Nordic Center, Steamboat Ski Touring Center, Haymaker Nordic Center (Steamboat Springs), Never Summer Nordic / State Forest State Park (Walden), Mueller State Park groomed trails, Steamboat Lake State Park groomed trails, Brainard Lake Recreation Area winter trails, Mount Massive Golf Course ski trails (Leadville), Loveland guided snowcat tours (Dry Gulch), Irwin Guides (Crested Butte), Aspen Powder Tours and Keystone Adventure Tours, Telluride heli and Colorado heli operators, Cuchara Mountain Park offerings, Other Colorado Nordic and snowshoe systems (Winter Park area, Rabbit Ears, Lake Dillon, Ouray, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park winter trails).

Closed or historic: Bluebird Backcountry (permanently closed), Berthoud Pass Ski Area (permanently closed), Geneva Basin Ski Area (permanently closed), Conquistador Ski Area (permanently closed), Climax Ski Area (historical), Arapahoe East Ski Area (historical), Ski Broadmoor (historical), Hidden Valley Ski Area (Estes Park) (historical), Other former areas on the Wikipedia list (historical).

Excluded: Boulder Nordic Sport (Shop and coaching business listed in the association directory, not a groomed trail operator.); Loveland Valley (Beginner area of Loveland; covered by the loveland record.); Mary Jane (Winter Park) (Same resort as Winter Park Resort.); Aspen Snowmass (umbrella) (Split into four records: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, Snowmass.); Winter Park night snowcat tour and Glow Night tubing (Not skiing.).

Connecticut

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts, 3 local ski areas, 1 nordic centers, 1 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Mohawk Mountain and Powder Ridge operator sites were unreadable through the fetch tool, so they rest on state tourism plus secondary sources. CT DEEP state park pages were not checked for designated ski trails. No private ski club hills, dry slopes or simulators found; a rope-tow or school-run hill may exist unlisted.

Closed or historic: Woodbury Ski Area (permanently closed).

Excluded: Gay City, Sleeping Giant, Chatfield Hollow, Hop River, James L. Goodwin State Forest and other state parks/forests (Tourism says XC skiing is allowed on multi-use trails but they are not groomed or officially designated ski trail systems); Quinnipiac River Linear Trail (Multi-use paved/linear trail, no ski-specific designation).

Delaware

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: No ski area, Nordic center, indoor snow facility or simulator located in Delaware was found in the association and Wikipedia lists or in web searches. No state park trail system officially designated for cross-country skiing was found. State parks agency pages were not individually crawled, so a small unlisted winter-use trail could exist.

Excluded: Shawnee Mountain (Shawnee on Delaware) (Located in Pennsylvania; hotel listings use "Delaware" for the river).

District of Columbia

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: No facility located within the District of Columbia was found. Searches for DC simulators or indoor snow returned only Virginia businesses. NPS Rock Creek Park winter use was not checked for any official ski trail designation (none known).

Excluded: Inside Ski Training Center (Leesburg) (Ski simulator located in Leesburg, Virginia, not in DC); Alpine-X (proposed indoor ski facility near Washington) (Proposal outside DC, not confirmed built).

Florida

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No Florida snow ski facility, indoor snow center, dry slope or ski simulator found.

Excluded: Disney Blizzard Beach (Water park with a ski-resort theme; no snow skiing. Exclusion based on general knowledge, not a page fetched in this run.).

Georgia

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No operating Georgia ski area, Nordic center, indoor snow facility or artificial slope was found; Georgia tubing or snow-park attractions were not individually checked.

Closed or historic: Sky Valley Resort ski area (Rabun County) (permanently closed).

Hawaii

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: No verified ski facility was found in Hawaii. Checks were limited: the Wikipedia U.S. ski list, NSAA and CCSAA home or directory pages, the University of Hawaii Hilo Maunakea page and Hawaii State Parks home page showed no ski area. The sites for the Mauna Kea Rangers and the Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority could not be reached from this environment (DNS errors), so their current visitor rules were not read. The web search budget for the session ran out before searches for indoor snow, dry slopes, simulators or guided operations in Hawaii could be run, so absence of those is not confirmed by a search. Marked complete because no lift-served, Nordic, or guided snow-ski operation is known to exist in Hawaii.

Excluded: Mauna Kea informal backcountry skiing and snowboarding (Not a facility. No lift-served or commercial operation exists. Informal skiing on the summit takes place on state-managed, culturally significant land, and no land manager page checked documents a ski area, permit, or designated ski access. Not listed as a ski area per project honesty rules.); Mauna Loa and Haleakala snow (Occasional snow only; no ski operation or land-manager ski documentation was found in the sources checked.).

Idaho

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 6 local ski areas, 11 alpine resorts, 5 nordic centers, 19 public cross-country trails, 6 guided operations.

Known gaps: Sun Valley and Soldier Mountain operator sites were unavailable (maintenance page and Cloudflare block), so they rest on Ski Idaho. Many alpine metrics are Wikipedia infobox values. Coordinates for Pebble Creek, Magic Mountain, Bald Mountain (Pierce), all Park N' Ski areas and several Nordic and guided entries are town-level approximations because geocoding services were rate limited. No land-manager backcountry resource (hut or designated area) was found or verified; Sun Valley Guides, Payette Powder Guides and Selkirk Powder are guide services only. 2026-27 opening dates were not published on most operator sites. Web search budget ran out before further Nordic discovery (e.g. Idaho Panhandle, Wood River grooming details).

Not yet confirmed: Pine Street Ski Area / Pine Street Woods (Sandpoint), Idaho state parks recommended for cross-country skiing (Ashton to Tetonia Trail, Castle Rocks, City of Rocks, Farragut, Lake Cascade, Lake Walcott, Round Lake, Thousand Springs, Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, Winchester Lake), Lookout Pass Nordic, Schweitzer Nordic, Silver Mountain Nordic and other resort Nordic tracks, Bear Gulch, Mesa Falls and other east Idaho Park N' Ski trailheads.

Excluded: Lost Trail Powder Mountain (Operator address is Sula, Montana and the main base is on the Montana side; Ski Idaho and Wikipedia also list it for Idaho. Leave to the Montana researcher (covered under MT).); Grand Targhee Resort (Listed by Ski Idaho but the base area is in Alta, Wyoming (covered under WY)); Hyperspud Sports (Retail and rental shop listed by XCSAA, not a ski area).

Illinois

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts, 3 local ski areas, 4 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Alpine list is believed complete at four operating areas (Chestnut Mountain, Snowstar, Four Lakes, Villa Olivia) plus closed Raging Buffalo. No indoor snow, simulator or private ski club found. Illinois has no statewide designated ski trail list; the Nordic section is a sample of officially promoted systems (Cook and Lake County forest preserves, Rock Cut and Matthiessen state parks). The Lake County and Cook County forest preserve sites blocked automated fetches, so those two records are secondary_only. Many DuPage, Kane, McHenry and Will county preserve trails allow skiing but were not enumerated. Chestnut Mountain night skiing, vertical for Snowstar and Four Lakes were not confirmed on operator pages.

Not yet confirmed: Chain O'Lakes State Park (Illinois) ski trails, Eagle Ridge Resort Nordic Center (Galena), The Morton Arboretum groomed ski trails (Lisle), Arrowhead Golf Course (Wheaton) groomed trails, Forest Preserve District of DuPage County groomed trails, Lake Carroll ski hill.

Closed or historic: Raging Buffalo Snowboard and Ski Park (permanently closed).

Excluded: Sundown Mountain (Located in Dubuque, Iowa, not Illinois); Blackwell Forest Preserve snow tubing (Warrenville) (Tubing only); REI Vernon Hills (Equipment rental retailer, not a ski place); Chicago sledding hills (Soldier Field, Mt. Trashmore, Cricket Hill and others) (Sledding hills).

Indiana

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 2 alpine resorts, 3 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Indiana has only two lift-served areas (Perfect North Slopes, Paoli Peaks), confirmed on Wikipedia, tourism and operator sites; the alpine list is believed complete. No commercial Nordic center, indoor snow facility or private ski club was found. Perfect North's mountain-info page returned 404 so vertical and acres come from Wikipedia. Other county or state properties are sometimes mentioned for casual skiing but no official designated ski trail pages were found; state park pages were not all crawled.

Not yet confirmed: Indiana Dunes State Park cross-country ski trails, Indiana Dunes National Park Glenwood Dunes Trails.

Excluded: Cardinal Greenways rail trail (Multi-use rail trail promoted by local blogs for skiing; not an officially designated ski trail system).

Iowa

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts, 2 local ski areas, 1 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Alpine list believed complete (Sundown, Seven Oaks, Crescent Hill) from the Wikipedia list plus operator pages; Sleepy Hollow is not operating for skiing. Status complete refers to the alpine list; Iowa Nordic coverage is thin: no authoritative statewide list of groomed trails was reachable (Iowa DNR winter page not found, web search budget ran out mid-session), so county and state park XC grooming, and Nordic clubs, are unresolved. Vertical drop, lift counts and night skiing were not readable for Sundown and Crescent Hill.

Not yet confirmed: Iowa DNR state parks with groomed cross-country trails (Volga River, George Wyth, Clear Lake, Lake Macbride, Mines of Spain), F.W. Kent Park (Johnson County, Iowa City Nordic Club grooming).

Closed or historic: Sleepy Hollow Sports Park (ski hill) (historical).

Excluded: Chestnut Mountain Resort (Located in Galena, Illinois, though it shows up in Iowa-area searches); Great Bear Recreation Park (Sioux Falls, South Dakota (OpenStreetMap hit within the Iowa search box)).

Kansas

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: No verified ski facility, indoor snow or simulator found in Kansas. Wikipedia and NSAA Kansas sections were not read, and a follow-up search on Mont Bleu was blocked by the search budget.

Not yet confirmed: Mont Bleu current status.

Closed or historic: Mont Bleu (historical).

Excluded: Snow Creek Ski Area (Located in Weston, Missouri, not Kansas.); Buttermilk and Fun Valley listed under Kansas on j2ski.com (Bad aggregator data; not Kansas facilities.).

Kentucky

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No operating Kentucky ski area found; nearest ski areas are across the border in Indiana and Ohio.

Closed or historic: Ski Butler (General Butler State Park, Carrollton) (permanently closed), Lakewood Village ski resort (near Ashland) (permanently closed).

Louisiana

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No Louisiana snow ski facility, indoor snow center, dry slope or ski simulator found.

Maine

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 4 alpine resorts, 15 local ski areas, 16 nordic centers, 4 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Alpine list is believed complete for lift-served areas (19 on Wikipedia, 17 on Ski Maine, plus Spruce Mountain), but small volunteer hills may be missing and several operator sites could not be read (Powderhouse Hill, Mt. Jefferson, Pinnacle, Titcomb domain, Eaton). Sunday River, Pleasant Mountain, Mt. Abram, Black Mountain, Camden and Lost Valley operator pages lacked full stats, so several metrics come from Wikipedia. Ikon Pass for Sunday River and pass affiliations at Pleasant Mountain and Mt. Abram were not confirmed from pass pages. The Nordic and public-trail census is incomplete: state-park pages mostly returned 403/404 and the web search budget was exhausted before many small Nordic candidates (see unresolved_candidates) could be checked. 2026-27 opening dates were not posted for most areas.

Not yet confirmed: Camden Hills State Park ski trails, Bradbury Mountain, Lake St. George and Sebago Lake state parks, Smiling Hill Farm (Westbrook), Barnes Brook Cross Country Ski Center (Aroostook area), Caribou High School ski trails / Caribou ski center, Northern Timber Cruisers ski trails, Baithole Trails, Ktaadn Resort XC Trails (Millinocket area), Penobscot Valley Ski Club (Orono), Nordic Trails at Oxbow Beer Garden (Oxford) and Seacoast Snowpark, Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge (Limestone), Baxter State Park and Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, Gilsland Farm, Hadlock Brook, Bridgton Highlands, Fryeburg area trails.

Closed or historic: Eaton Mountain Ski Area & Snowtubing Park (Skowhegan) (historical), Big Squaw Mountain Resort (old operation) (historical), Saddleback (2015 to 2020 closure) (historical).

Excluded: L.L.Bean (Freeport), Akers Ski (Andover), Boulder Nordic Sports (Portland) (retailers listed on xcski.org, not ski places); Bethel Inn / Bethel Resort Nordic (duplicate of inland-woods-and-trails: the winter trail center is operated by Inland Woods + Trails); nordicheritagecenter.org (Old website of Northern Maine Community Trails now redirects to an unrelated site; do not use).

Maryland

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts, 4 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Wisp Nordic center and Savage River Lodge trails not verified. Trail mileage and grooming for the two state forests are unpublished on the list page. Wisp metrics are Wikipedia only. No indoor, simulator or private ski club found for MD.

Not yet confirmed: Savage River Lodge cross-country trails (Frostburg), Swallow Falls, Deep Creek Lake State Park trails.

Massachusetts

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 4 alpine resorts, 6 local ski areas, 6 nordic centers, 2 private clubs.

Known gaps: Web search budget ran out before every Nordic and DCR designated-trail question could be checked. DCR state forests and parks with ski trails (for example Savoy, Beartown, Pittsfield, Mount Washington), Thunderbolt Ski Runners, Cranwell and other small clubs or school hills were not verified. Northfield Mountain details were not read from an operator page. Several alpine metrics are Wikipedia only.

Not yet confirmed: Cranwell Resort cross-country trails (Lenox).

Closed or historic: Blandford Ski Area (Ski Blandford) (permanently closed), Canterbury Farm (Becket) (permanently closed).

Excluded: Catamount Ski Area (Straddles the NY/MA line; main base is in Hillsdale, NY, so it is recorded in the NY file); Berkshire Outfitters (Adams) (Outdoor shop listed by the CCSAA, not a ski area); Bikeway Source (Bedford) (Bike and ski shop listed by the CCSAA, not a ski area).

Michigan

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 16 alpine resorts, 25 local ski areas, 1 guided operations, 10 nordic centers, 12 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Alpine and resort coverage is broad (about 40 lift-served records with operator-site checks for most large areas) but not exhaustive for tiny volunteer hills. Many operator homepages gave only partial data, so lift, trail and vertical metrics are null unless the operator or Wikipedia stated them; Wikipedia-derived metrics are marked in notes. michigan.gov (DNR and Porkies), saultcity.com and several forest-service and NPS pages were blocked or 404 to automated fetch, so DNR and NPS trail systems are recorded only as secondary or association-listed. Michigan public Nordic trails are numerous: this file covers the Keweenaw, Marquette, Ironwood, Mackinac and several resort and state park systems, but Hiawatha, Huron-Manistee and Ottawa national forest trails, Pictured Rocks and Sleeping Bear NPS trails, most DNR state forest pathways, Metroparks, county parks and many township trails are listed under unresolved candidates and still need operator checks. Private ski clubs with their own hill were not found (Otsego Club is treated as the public Otsego Resort). Passes were recorded only when the operator page named a pass with a season; several Indy and Ikon logos without a season were left out. Search quota ran out before additional discovery searches, and coordinates for some small hills are town-level approximations.

Not yet confirmed: Challenge Mountain (Boyne City / Boyne Falls), Casnovia Ski Club (Casnovia), Covington Ski Hill, Rapid River National Cross Country Ski Trail (Hiawatha National Forest), McNearney, Sand Dunes and McKeever Hills cross-country ski trails (Hiawatha National Forest), Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore winter trails, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore cross-country trails, Valley Spur Trails (Munising), Blueberry Ridge Pathway (Marquette County), Algonquin Ski Trail (Lake Superior State Forest), Peek-A-Boo Hill Ski Trail (Cedarville), Corsair Trail System (Huron National Forest, East Tawas), Vasa Pathway (Williamsburg), Huron-Clinton Metroparks winter trails (Kensington, Huron Meadows, Indian Springs, Hudson Mills, Willow, Lake Erie), West and southeast Michigan county park ski trails (Luton Park, Seidman Park, Palmer Park, Rolling Hills, Pickerel Lake), Keweenaw Mountain Lodge ski trails (Copper Harbor), Drummond Island Resort ski trails, Mt. Mancelona, Other U.P. township and city ski trails (Al Quaal, Escanaba, Iron Mountain, Gladstone and others).

Closed or historic: Sugar Loaf Mountain Resort (permanently closed), Mt. Christie (south of Fenton) (historical), Indian Hills (near Grand Rapids) (historical).

Excluded: Stokely Creek Lodge and Hiawatha Highlands (Sault Ste. Marie) (Ontario, Canada Nordic centers that appear in Michigan U.P. search results); Copper Peak Ski Flying Hill (Ironwood) (Ski flying hill, not a recreational alpine or Nordic area); Suicide Bowl (Ishpeming) (Ski jumping hill, not a recreational alpine or Nordic area); Hawk Island Tubing Lift (Lansing) (Tubing only); Ann Arbor Ski Club (Social ski travel club without its own hill); Oak Park Ski Club (Illinois club that owns a lodge in Michigan, no hill); Boyne Highlands (Duplicate of The Highlands at Harbor Springs); Schuss Mountain (Duplicate of Shanty Creek Resorts (Schuss Mountain)); Little Boho Mountain (OpenStreetMap sub-area of Mount Bohemia).

Minnesota

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 4 alpine resorts, 15 local ski areas, 4 nordic centers, 93 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: All 19 association alpine areas were recorded; Coffee Mill is status unknown and Steeplechase unresolved. Operator pages for many areas are script-driven and short, so vertical drop, acreage and lift counts come from the association directory (which counts surface lifts) unless the operator page stated them (Afton Alps, Welch Village, Lutsen widget). Public Nordic coverage is strong (82 DNR ski pass trail systems plus 12 Three Rivers parks plus Loppet and two Nordic centers) but local trail pages were not fetched individually, county/city fields are blank for the DNR-derived records, and municipal, county or club systems not in the DNR program (and the Loppet-managed Columbia, Hiawatha and Chain of Lakes loops) are not individually recorded. Web search budget ran out mid-session, so no per-area news check for 2026-27 closures was done.

Not yet confirmed: Steeplechase Ski and Snowboard Area (Mazeppa), Coffee Mill Ski Area (Wabasha), Other Minnesota Nordic centers and resort trail systems not on the DNR ski pass list (for example commercial lodge trail systems and club-run systems).

Excluded: Loppet Foundation as an alpine area (Listed among association members but it is a Nordic and trail organization; recorded as a Nordic center).

Mississippi

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No Mississippi snow ski facility, indoor snow center, dry slope or ski simulator found.

Missouri

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 2 alpine resorts.

Known gaps: Both lift-served areas (the only two commonly listed for Missouri) were checked on the operator sites. No Missouri Nordic center, groomed public cross-country system, indoor snow or dry-slope facility was found in the sources reachable (Missouri State Parks and tourism pages were not searched in depth because the web search budget ran out); Missouri rarely grooms cross-country trails, so none is expected but this is not proven. Hidden Valley trail count is internally inconsistent on its own page and left null.

Montana

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 6 alpine resorts, 8 local ski areas, 1 private clubs, 8 nordic centers, 11 public cross-country trails, 1 guided operations.

Known gaps: Operator pages were read for Big Sky, Whitefish, Bridger Bowl, Red Lodge, Snowbowl, Discovery, Lost Trail, Showdown, Great Divide, Blacktail, Turner, Teton Pass, Bear Paw and Yellowstone Club; Maverick's site did not render. Coordinates are mostly OpenStreetMap or Wikipedia ski-area points (approximate) and several Nordic points are town-level, so base-area points still need mapping. Most operator pages gave no dated 2026-27 season, so operating status is active_seasonal only where a current pass sale, season notice or dated event was seen. Libby-area trailheads on the Kootenai page (Bear Creek 3.42 mi, South Flower Creek 8.89 mi, Ross Creek) were not written up as records. The web search quota ran out during the run, so Montana Nordic clubs not on the CCSAA list (for example Bigfork, Missoula, Helena, Butte and Flathead trails), community hills, hut systems, avalanche-center backcountry areas and any other cat or heli operators may be missing, and the state file is partial.

Not yet confirmed: Bigfork Community Nordic Center, Stemple Pass trails (north of Helena), Hyalite Canyon ski trails (Custer Gallatin National Forest), Glacier National Park winter ski routes (Apgar, Lake McDonald and backcountry), Lolo Pass Nordic trails (Montana/Idaho line), Bozeman-area Bohart and Big Sky Community Organization trails, Teton Pass Ski Resort current ownership and season.

Closed or historic: Marshall Mountain (Missoula) (historical).

Excluded: Moonlight Basin (Part of Big Sky Resort, handled as one record (alias on Big Sky Resort)); Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area (Main base and lodge are in Idaho at the state line; the ID file has the record and lists Montana as a second state); Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area (Mailing address is Red Lodge, MT but the ski area is in Wyoming (Park County, Shoshone National Forest) and operates in summer; covered under WY); Montana's Yellowstone Country, Sylvan Peak Mountain Shop, Freeheel and Wheel (Regional tourism group and retail shops on the CCSAA list, not ski areas).

Nebraska

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: No Nebraska ski area, Nordic trail system, indoor snow or simulator was found. Searches covered state parks and Omaha-area skiing only; Wikipedia and NSAA Nebraska sections were not read.

Excluded: Mt. Crescent (now Crescent Hill at Hitchcock) (Located in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, about 15 miles northeast of Omaha; not in Nebraska.).

Nevada

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 3 alpine resorts, 2 local ski areas, 1 public cross-country trails, 1 guided operations.

Known gaps: Only five alpine areas appear on the Wikipedia and association lists for Nevada; Elko Snobowl could not be checked on an operator site and is secondary_only. Mt. Rose, Diamond Peak, Lee Canyon and Sky Tavern were read on their operator sites, but metrics for Mt. Rose, Diamond Peak and Sky Tavern are Wikipedia infobox values. No Nevada land-manager backcountry resource or hut system was verified, and Nordic discovery was limited to the XCSAA entry and Nevada Nordic because the web search budget ran out. Opening dates for 2026-27 were not published on most pages.

Not yet confirmed: Elko Snobowl Ski and Bike Park, Spooner Lake and Tahoe Meadows Nordic areas, Ruby Mountains and Lamoille Canyon backcountry skiing (Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest), Spring Mountains (Lee Canyon area) cross-country or backcountry routes.

Excluded: Heavenly Mountain Resort (Straddles CA/NV but the main base is in South Lake Tahoe, California (covered under CA)); Other California-based Lake Tahoe resorts (Palisades Tahoe, Northstar, Kirkwood, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Boreal, Homewood, Tahoe Donner) (Bases are in California (covered under CA)).

New Hampshire

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 13 alpine resorts, 12 local ski areas, 16 nordic centers, 8 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Alpine list is judged complete for lift-served public areas: all 16 alpine members on Ski NH, the six Ski NH community areas, plus Black Mountain, Storrs Hill and Campton Mountain are recorded. Not confirmed as current: rope-tow areas Mount Prospect, Red Hill and the Kanc (listed as unresolved), and school-only hills (Clancy, Norm Wight, Proctor, Rowell). Several operator sites returned 403/404 or timed out (Pats Peak, Cannon and Cranmore mountain pages, Bretton Woods and Omni Nordic pages, Crotched address, Wildcat address), so those records use Ski NH member pages for metrics and leave other values null. The public Nordic list includes only the seven state parks the state recommends for skiing; most are ungroomed and the exact km are unknown. Ski NH and CCSAA were the only organized NH Nordic lists found; small town-run or club trail systems (for example Colebrook Ski Bees, Hopkinton, Sunset Hill, Ski Hearth Farm) could not be confirmed. White Mountain National Forest groomed systems other than Jackson XC and Great Glen were not enumerated. Coordinates: ski area polygon centers or mapped points from OpenStreetMap (several are mid-mountain centers, not lodge points), town-level points from Wikipedia where no map point was found. The search quota ran out partway through the census, so some secondary checks were not repeated.

Not yet confirmed: Mount Prospect Ski Tow (Lancaster), Red Hill Ski Club (Moultonborough), Kanc Recreation Area (Lincoln), Clancy Mountain (Cardigan Mountain School, Canaan), Norm Wight Ski Area (Dublin School, Dublin), Proctor Academy ski area (Andover) and Rowell (Sutton), Sunset Hill Nordic and Snowshoe Center (Sugar Hill), Ski Hearth Farm (Sugar Hill), Blackwater Nordic Club (Hopkinton/Contoocook), Mohawk Falls Nordic Center (Colebrook), Dublin School Nordic Center (Dublin), Colebrook Ski Bees trail system.

Closed or historic: The Balsams Wilderness Ski Area (Dixville Notch) (historical), Windblown Cross Country Ski Area (New Ipswich) (permanently closed), Ossipee Mountain Ski Area (historical), Mittersill (Franconia) (historical).

Excluded: Mittersill Alpine Resort (Lodging/condominium name; the ski terrain is part of Cannon Mountain (see closed_or_historic).); Omni Mount Washington Resort and Spa (Hotel on the Bretton Woods list; the ski area is the Bretton Woods record.); Attitash Mountain Village (Lodging promoted by Ski NH; the ski area is the Attitash record.); Indian Head Resort (Lincoln) (Lodging promoted by Ski NH, not a ski place.); Mount Washington Cog Railway (Tourist railway promoted by Ski NH, not a ski place.); Monadnock State Park (State site says its trails are ungroomed and rocky and need about 16 inches of natural snow; treated as hiking trails, not a designated ski system.); Coleman State Park (State page lists it for snowshoeing, not skiing.); Canadian facilities on canada.skinh.com (Canadian pages of the Ski NH site; not U.S. facilities.); Chesterfield town ski areas page (Lists nearby areas (some in VT and MA) as drive times only; no additional NH area.); Ski Ward (Appeared in a search summary of oldest areas but is in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire.); Gunstock tubing hill, Franconia Inn tubing, King Pine snowtubing lanes (Tubing offered by resorts already listed; tubing alone is not a ski place.).

New Jersey

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts, 1 indoor snow, 1 local ski areas, 1 nordic centers.

Known gaps: NJ DEP and county park pages were not systematically checked for designated XC trails beyond High Point; county parks (Bergen, Morris, Sussex) may have informally used trails. No dry slopes, simulators or private ski clubs found. Mountain Creek stats rely on Wikipedia.

Not yet confirmed: National Winter Activity Center (former Hidden Valley site, Vernon), Stokes State Forest, Wawayanda State Park.

Closed or historic: Hidden Valley (Vernon) (permanently closed).

New Mexico

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 7 alpine resorts, 2 local ski areas, 2 nordic centers, 1 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: All nine areas on the Ski New Mexico list plus Ski Cloudcroft are recorded. Wikipedia's New Mexico ski page returned 404, so no list of closed areas was checked; closed_or_historic is empty, not verified empty. Red River and Ski Cloudcroft status are not confirmed on operator pages. Several metrics come from Wikipedia infoboxes. Web search budget ended, so Nordic and backcountry discovery is thin.

Not yet confirmed: Sandia Nordic Ski Club trails (Sandia Mountains), Santa Fe Norski Trail, Chama / Cumbres Pass winter trails, Red River Ski & Summer Area (stats).

Excluded: Enchanted Forest yurts and fat bike rentals (Part of the Enchanted Forest record.).

New York

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 15 alpine resorts, 5 private clubs, 17 local ski areas, 12 nordic centers, 10 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: NY was researched in four slices (western/central alpine, Adirondack/North Country alpine, Catskills/Hudson alpine, statewide Nordic) and merged. Unverified: Toggenburg, Frost Ridge, Cockaigne, Hickory, Beartown, Big Tupper, Four Seasons Golf & Ski, Indian Lake Ski Hill, Val Bialas, Dynamite Hill and North Creek Ski Bowl (dead, parked or unreadable sites; WebSearch budget ran out). ORDA sites (Whiteface, Gore, Belleayre, Mt Van Hoevenberg) blocked automated reads, so some ORDA facts rest on SKI NY and Wikipedia. Several coordinates are town or park points (see coord_precision). Many state park and DEC Nordic trail systems were not checked; only designated or well-promoted systems are included. Small unlisted rope-tow hills and club hills may be missing. No indoor snow, simulator or dry slope was found, though absence is not proven. Per-slice notes: Frost Ridge, Cockaigne and Toggenburg could not be verified (dead, parked or suspended sites, no search engine). Metrics for Swain, Snow Ridge and Brantling are blank because no official or Wikipedia stats were reachable. Holimont, Hunt Hollow and Buffalo Ski Center day-ticket access for non-members was not confirmed. Five coordinates (Peek'n Peak, Labrador, Song, Woods Valley, Brantling) are only town points because the Census geocoder did not match their addresses and OpenStreetMap services were unavailable; the rest are interpolated street-address points. Several metrics come from SKI NY listings rather than operator pages. Only SKI NY and Wikipedia lists were used for discovery, so small unlisted rope-tow hills in the region may be missing. | Whiteface and Gore operator sites (ORDA) returned HTTP 403, so both are association_listed from SKI NY, Visit Adirondacks and Wikipedia, with no pass affiliations or 2026-27 info read. Coordinates are OSM polygon or point matches via Nominatim; Gore (Wikidata), Oak Mountain (street point) and McCauley (peak point) are approximate. Metrics from SKI NY and Wikipedia where the operator pages gave none; conflicting values left blank. Search engines were unusable, so Hickory, Big Tupper and Beartown could not be resolved. SKI NY statuses read as closed-for-season snapshots. Lessons, rentals, adaptive and lodging flags are blank where the operator pages did not state them. | Belleayre (HTTP 403) and Thunder Ridge (bot challenge) operator sites could not be read, so those two rest on SKI NY plus Wikipedia/OpenStreetMap. Hunter has no street address or coordinates on its pages; both came from OpenStreetMap. Catamount stats pages errored. WebSearch was unavailable and Bing returned weak results, so no indoor snow, ski simulator or dry slope facility in NYC, Long Island or the Hudson Valley was found (Wikipedia indoor skiing and dry slope articles name none in New York); absence is not proven. No Overpass query was possible, so unlisted rope-tow hills or private club hills in the region may exist. Tuxedo Ridge reopening could not be verified beyond its closed status on Wikipedia and a parked domain. Other upstate names on the I LOVE NY list (for example Beartown, Four Seasons Golf & Ski, Hickory) are outside this slice and were not checked. | Operator sites for Mt. Van Hoevenberg (ORDA) and Whiteface returned 403 or a bot challenge, so ORDA facts rest on CCSAA and SKI NY pages. parks.ny.gov has no index page for winter or cross-country that was reachable (404), so state parks were checked one at a time by id and only a subset (Fahnestock, Green Lakes, Saratoga Spa, Allegany, plus several held back) was read. Bearpen and Mountain Trails sites are stale or partly unreadable, and Brookhaven last reported conditions in 2022; their status is unknown. No Indy XC or other pass affiliations were found on operator pages that were read, so none were recorded. Several Adirondack and Catskill DEC trail systems, Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska, Cumming Nature Center and Mendon Ponds were not checked. Many coordinates are approximate (park points or mailing-address points) because trailhead geocoding was not available for every site.

Not yet confirmed: Toggenburg Mountain (Fabius), Frost Ridge (Leicester), Cockaigne (Cherry Creek), Hickory Ski Center (Warrensburg), Beartown Ski Area (West Chazy / Plattsburgh), Villa Roma Resort & Conference Center (Callicoon, Sullivan County), Cascade Cross Country Ski Center (Lake Placid), Bark Eater Inn (Keene), Grafton Lakes State Park, Taconic State Park (Copake Falls), Moreau Lake State Park, Letchworth State Park, Max V. Shaul State Park, Cumberland Bay State Park, Watkins Glen State Park, Onondaga Lake Park, Mount Pisgah Recreation Center (Saranac Lake), High Peaks XC, Cranberry Lake, Wilmington Notch, Whiteface Memorial Highway region, Minnewaska, Mohonk Preserve, Cumming Nature Center, Mendon Ponds Park, Thacher, DEC Adirondack and Catskill trail pages, Big Tupper Ski Area, Four Seasons Golf & Ski Center (Fayetteville), Indian Lake Ski Hill & Skating Park (Indian Lake), Val Bialas Sports Center, Dynamite Hill Recreation Center & Caroline Fish Memorial Trails, North Creek Ski Bowl.

Closed or historic: Tuxedo Ridge Ski Center (formerly Sterling Forest Ski Area), Tuxedo (permanently closed).

Excluded: woodsvalley.com (Unrelated California campground; the ski area is at woodsvalleyskiarea.com); MacKenzie-Intervale ski jumping complex, Lake Placid (Ski jumping training and competition venue, not a visitor ski area); Adaptive Sports Foundation at Windham Mountain (Nonprofit adaptive lesson program that operates on the Windham Mountain Club lifts, recorded as the adaptive amenity of that entry, not a separate ski place); Windham Mountain Adventure Park (Route 23, Windham) (Appears in OpenStreetMap as a commercial adventure park, not read as a ski facility; same operator brand as Windham); Belle Ayr Mountain (Name of the mountain that Belleayre Mountain sits on, not a separate ski area; no current list names it as one); Sugar Hill and Bobcat (Catskills) (Not on SKI NY, I LOVE NY or Wikipedia current lists; no evidence of a current operation); Cross Country Ski Areas of New York (Association listing on CCSAA (800-225-5697, crosscountryskiny.com), not a ski place); Chittenango Falls State Park (State page shows no cross-country skiing); Big Snow American Dream and Mountain Creek (listed by SKI NY) (New Jersey facilities; recorded in the NJ file); Adaptive Sports Foundation at Windham Mountain (Adaptive lesson nonprofit operating on Windham lifts, recorded as an amenity of Windham, not a separate ski place).

North Carolina

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 5 alpine resorts, 1 local ski areas.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run. The six NC ski areas named by Ski Southeast and Wikipedia are recorded. Not checked: any Blue Ridge Parkway, national forest or state park marked Nordic trails, small commercial Nordic operators, and permanently closed NC areas other than the Wolf Ridge rename (no closure list was found). Street addresses for Appalachian Ski Mtn., Sapphire Valley and Hatley Pointe were not read from operator pages. Appalachian and Sapphire Valley coordinates are general points. Wikipedia metrics are 2019 or 2023 figures.

Excluded: Hawksnest Snow Tubing (Seven Devils) (Listed by Ski Southeast as a snow tubing resort; tubing only.); Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center (Listed by Ski Southeast as a snow tubing resort; tubing only.); Wolf Ridge Ski Resort (Former name of Hatley Pointe, recorded under that entry.).

North Dakota

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 3 local ski areas, 7 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: The three alpine areas on the Wikipedia list were each checked on operator sites. The CCSAA directory has no North Dakota listing and I found no North Dakota Nordic center or ski association list. State park coordinates are Wikipedia park-level points, not trailheads. Frost Fire, Huff Hills and Bottineau did not publish 2026-27 opening dates on pages read. The web search quota ran out during the run, so city and club trail systems (for example Fargo-Moorhead or Bismarck-area groups) were not searched and may be missing.

Not yet confirmed: Beaver Lake State Park, Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, Lake Sakakawea State Park, Lewis & Clark State Park, Missouri River Natural Area.

Ohio

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 4 alpine resorts, 1 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Web search quota was exhausted partway through the run. Ohio is likely complete for lift-served areas (four Vail areas plus independent Snow Trails), but Big Creek is unresolved. Cross-country: only Punderson State Park was confirmed from ODNR; National Park Service (Cuyahoga Valley), Cleveland Metroparks, Geauga and Summit park districts and other ODNR parks may host marked ski trails and were not checked because the NPS page paths returned 404 and the ODNR winter page listed none. Street addresses for the Vail areas were not readable (JavaScript pages).

Not yet confirmed: Big Creek Ski Area (Concord Township, Lake County).

Oklahoma

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 simulators.

Known gaps: No natural-snow ski area or Nordic trail system was found in Oklahoma. Wikipedia's Oklahoma section was not read. Only one simulator candidate, unconfirmed. Web search budget ended before further checks.

Not yet confirmed: Ski OKC current operation.

Excluded: Oklahoma TrailLink cross country skiing town listings (Generic trail-directory tags, not ski facilities.); RIVERSPORT Winter Glow event (Seasonal event, not a ski facility.).

Oregon

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 7 alpine resorts, 4 nordic centers, 5 local ski areas, 2 guided operations.

Known gaps: Alpine list is believed complete against PNSAA, Wikipedia and Travel Oregon sources, but several operator sites returned little data or failed (Willamette Pass TLS error, Mt. Hood Meadows homepage with no stats, Teacup 429, Forest Service pages rate-limited late in the session), so many metrics rely on Wikipedia and most small-area season plans for 2026-27 were not confirmed. Oregon has about 100 Sno-Parks and the ODOT program publishes no list of groomed Nordic trails; only Nordic centers tied to a resort or lodge are recorded as destinations, while Teacup, Meissner and other Sno-Park systems are listed as unresolved because coordinates or grooming were not verified. No Oregon indoor snow, dry slope, simulator, private club (for example Mt. Hood area ski clubs) or heli operation was researched or found. Wikipedia-sourced coordinates and elevations should be checked against maps before launch.

Not yet confirmed: Teacup Nordic (Teacup Lake Sno-Park), Mt. Hood, Virginia Meissner Sno-Park and Meissner Nordic, Bend, Swampy Lakes, Ray Benson, Wanoga, Dutchman Flat Sno-Parks (Bend and Santiam area), Great Meadow Sno-Park (Fremont-Winema), Clear Creek Sno-Park (Wallowa-Whitman), Crater Lake National Park Rim Drive ski route, Willamette Pass Nordic and Salt Creek Falls area trails, Mt. Hood Summit Meadow, Trillium Lake and other Mt. Hood Sno-Parks, Diamond Lake and Crescent Lake Nordic networks (Lakewest).

Closed or historic: Spout Springs Ski Area (historical).

Excluded: Portland Aerial Tramway (Urban commuter tram on the PNSAA list, not a ski facility); Wallowa Lake Tramway (Scenic gondola on the PNSAA list; the site content fetched was unrelated (appeared hijacked) and no ski operation was confirmed); Ski Bluewood (Washington facility, covered in the WA file); Mt. Hood Skibowl tubing park and Cooper Spur tubing lifts (Tubing is an add-on at records that already qualify; no tubing-only hills recorded).

Pennsylvania

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 16 alpine resorts, 6 local ski areas, 10 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so discovery relied on Ski PA, Wikipedia, Indy Pass, DCNR, CCSAA and direct operator pages. Operator sites for Shawnee (bot challenge), Nemacolin (JavaScript only) and Ski Big Bear (domain lapsed) could not be read. Metrics for several areas come from Ski PA or Wikipedia and conflict with each other in places; conflicting values were left null. Coordinates for Jack Frost, Blue Mountain, Laurel Mountain, Nemacolin, Shawnee and Whitetail are general resort points from Wikipedia and should be refined. About 70 additional state parks and forests list skiing on ungroomed trails and were not recorded; commercial Nordic centers beyond the CCSAA listings may exist and were not found. Every area on the Ski PA member list is included.

Not yet confirmed: Eagle Rock Resort (Hazleton), Crystal Lake Ski Center (Hughesville), Wilderness Lodge (Wattsburg) Nordic.

Closed or historic: Ski Denton (Denton Hill State Park downhill area) (permanently closed).

Excluded: Ski Roundtop (Duplicate of Roundtop Mountain Resort.); Jack Frost Big Boulder (combined listing) (Recorded as two entries, jack-frost and big-boulder.); Blue Knob State Park, Beltzville, Hickory Run, Black Moshannon and about 60 other state parks listing only ungroomed skiing (Not recorded individually: DCNR lists skiing on ordinary park trails without grooming or a designated system.).

Rhode Island

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 local ski areas, 1 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Yawgoo stats page returned 404 and dem.ri.gov blocked fetches (403), so some figures rely on Wikipedia and tourism pages. No private ski clubs or dry slopes found for RI.

Excluded: Lincoln Woods, Colt, Goddard Memorial State Parks, Chafee Nature Preserve, Sachuest Point NWR (Tourism page mentions skiing and snowshoeing, but they are not officially groomed or designated ski trail systems).

South Carolina

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. No ski areas found.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run, so no open-ended web searches could be made for local hills, simulators or dry slopes; discovery used the Wikipedia list, the skiresort.info indoor list, CCSAA, Ski Southeast and Ski Bum state pages only. No South Carolina ski area, Nordic center, indoor snow facility, artificial slope or simulator found. Snow tubing or snow-play attractions, if any, would be out of scope and were not searched.

South Dakota

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts, 1 local ski areas, 3 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Terry Peak and Great Bear were checked on operator sites. Mystic Miner (now Deer Mountain Village) could not be shown to be open to the public. Big Hill coordinates are the town of Spearfish because the Forest Service page gives no trailhead point. The Black Hills Nordic Ski Club site, South Dakota state tourism and Game, Fish and Parks pages were unreachable or not found, and the web search quota ran out during the run, so Custer State Park and city or club trail systems (for example Rapid City or Sioux Falls trails beyond Great Bear) were not searched and may be missing.

Not yet confirmed: Deer Mountain Village (former Mystic Miner Ski Resort, Lead), Beaver Creek Ski System (Black Hills National Forest), Deerfield Lake Loop and Deerfield Trail (Black Hills National Forest), Black Hills Nordic Ski Club groomed trail systems.

Excluded: Carson Draw Trail System (Sundance) (Forest Service page places it outside Sundance, Wyoming (covered under WY)); Buckhorn Snowmobile Trailhead (Snowmobile trail access, not ski).

Tennessee

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 alpine resorts.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run. Tennessee has one lift-served ski area per every source checked. Not searched individually: Great Smoky Mountains National Park or other public land with marked Nordic trails, indoor snow or artificial slopes, and recently closed small hills. Believed complete for ski areas because every source names only Ober Gatlinburg.

Texas

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 1 artificial slopes.

Known gaps: No natural-snow or lift-served facility exists in Texas. Only one candidate with a source, Mount Aggie, is out of service. Indoor-snow and simulator operators in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio were searched only briefly and could not be confirmed; the web search budget ended before a second pass.

Not yet confirmed: Gladiator Ski School (Houston), Shredder Ski School (Richardson, Dallas area), U.S. Ski Team simulator at a Frisco facility.

Excluded: Texas Ski Ranch (New Braunfels) (Water skiing and wakeboarding park.).

Utah

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 14 alpine resorts, 2 local ski areas, 7 nordic centers, 1 public cross-country trails, 1 guided operations.

Known gaps: Ski Utah and the CCSAA lists plus operator sites were used. Snowbasin and Nordic Valley operator sites were unavailable (maintenance page and a parked landing page), so they rest on Ski Utah. Metrics for most alpine resorts are Wikipedia infobox values and may lag operator figures. No land-manager backcountry resource (hut system or designated area) was verified, and no designated Utah backcountry list was found; Utah Avalanche Center is not a land manager. Several Nordic venues (Round Valley, Rail Trail, Mirror Lake Highway, Deer Hollow, Brian Head) are unresolved. Cat and heli operators other than Powderbird could not be confirmed. Coordinates for several entries are town-level approximations; geocoding services were rate limited.

Not yet confirmed: Park City Powder Cats and Heli-Ski, Whisper Ridge Backcountry Resort, Diamond Peaks Heli-Ski Adventures, Round Valley (Park City) groomed Nordic trails, Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail State Park, Deer Hollow / Duck Creek Village Nordic trails, Mirror Lake Highway / Beaver Creek Trail, Brian Head area and Sherwood Hills Nordic trails, Sundance, Alta Nordic and other resort Nordic tracks.

Excluded: Utah Olympic Park (Park City) (Olympic training and visitor venue; no public ski area or Nordic trail system verified); Cherry Creek (Ski Utah text appears to refer to Cherry Peak (duplicate)).

Vermont

Complete, researched Oct 29, 2026. 14 alpine resorts, 10 local ski areas, 2 private clubs, 26 nordic centers, 2 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Alpine list judged complete for public areas: 14 resorts, 10 community or small hills (some secondary-sourced) and two private clubs, with private family tows listed as unresolved or excluded. Nordic coverage is partial: Ski Vermont profile pages and many operator sites returned HTTP 429/402/404, so some Nordic centers (Jay, Smuggs, Stratton, Dashney, Sleepy Hollow, Grafton) have no km or services. Coordinates for most Nordic centers are town-level (approximate). Ikon and Epic season labels recorded as current because the pass pages did not state a season; Stratton and Sugarbush Ikon status not confirmed (Ikon page only partly read). 2026-27 operating dates were not published for most areas. Vermont state park and national forest trail systems (Woodford, Little River, Green Mountain National Forest) were not verified from land-manager pages.

Not yet confirmed: Harrington Hill (South Strafford), Glen Ellen, Seaver Hill and Hitching Post (surface-lift areas), Grill Hill (Norwich), Strafford Nordic Center, Marlboro Nordic Ski Club, Onion River Nordic Ski Club (Montpelier), Millstone Trails (Barre Town Forest), Three Stallion Inn Ski Touring (Randolph), Timber Creek XC, Hermitage Cross Country Center, White House of Wilmington XC, Windham Hill Inn, Inn at Mountain View Farm, NorthWoods Stewardship Center, Willoughby State Forest, Intervale Center, Rock Point (OSM winter sports areas), Twin Farms Ski Hill (Barnard).

Closed or historic: Ascutney Mountain Resort (permanently closed), Plymouth Notch (Round Top / Bear Mountain) ski area (historical), Highland Lodge Cross Country Center (Greensboro) (historical), Morse Farm Ski Touring Center (Montpelier) (permanently closed).

Excluded: Carinthia (Terrain park face within Mount Snow, not a separate ski area); Catamount Trail Association (Long-distance trail organization (over 300 miles, mostly ungroomed backcountry) rather than a single facility; no land-manager source for a backcountry record); Vermont Technical College rope tow (Randolph Center) (Use limited to the college community); Vermont Academy ski tow (Saxtons River) (School campus tow, not public); Cosmic Hill (Moretown), High Pond (Hubbardton), Pine Mountain (South Royalton), Gebbies Farm (Greensboro) (Private or family-only surface-lift hills, not open to the public); Canadian facilities (None found on the Ski Vermont lists consulted).

Virginia

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 4 alpine resorts, 1 artificial slopes, 1 indoor snow.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run. All five Virginia places named by Virginia Tourism are recorded. Not checked: marked Nordic or backcountry skiing on national forest or state park land (Jefferson/George Washington National Forest, Grayson Highlands), the Homestead Nordic offering, and any recently closed Virginia areas (no closure list found). Homestead operator pages could not be read. Wikipedia metrics are 2019 figures.

Excluded: Snow tubing parks in Virginia (tubing only) (None identified as stand-alone; tubing at the four ski resorts is recorded as an amenity only.).

Washington

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 9 alpine resorts, 6 local ski areas, 1 private clubs, 6 nordic centers, 2 guided operations, 26 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Status partial. The operator site for Crystal Mountain returned no readable text, so Crystal rests on PNSAA and Wikipedia (association_listed). Badger Mountain operator site had a certificate error; Sitzmark, Meany Lodge and the Summit Nordic and Stevens Nordic centers have no confirmed current operation. Several operator pages (Mt. Baker, Mission Ridge, White Pass, Bluewood, 49 Degrees North) omit stats, so elevations, vertical, acres and trail counts come from Wikipedia. Coordinates for Methow Trails, Plain, Icicle River, Echo Ridge, North Cascade Heli and Cascade Powder Guides are town-level only. Sno-Park records cover the 28 locations on the State Parks groomed cross-country list; kilometer figures are only filled where State Parks states groomed distance. Not researched: remaining pages of the CCSAA directory, Washington indoor or dry slope facilities (search budget exhausted), other Nordic clubs not on the State Parks list, and Forest Service backcountry documentation. Guided operations other than the two listed were not found.

Not yet confirmed: Summit Nordic Center (The Summit at Snoqualmie), Stevens Pass Nordic Center (Mill Valley), Sahalie Ski Club, Leavenworth Snowcat Skiing, Mount Rainier Paradise winter ski touring, Indoor snow, dry slope and ski simulator facilities in Washington.

Closed or historic: American River Ski Bowl (historical), Big Four Ski Area (historical), Martin Ski Dome (historical), Milwaukee Ski Bowl (historical).

Excluded: Canadian PNSAA members (The PNSAA member page fetched listed no Canadian resorts, so nothing was excluded for this reason.); Tubing and sledding areas at ski hills (Leavenworth, Echo Valley, Hyak) (Tubing or sledding only components are not ski places; they are noted on the host records.); About 98 other Washington Sno-Parks (126 total minus the 28 groomed cross-country locations) (Not in the State Parks groomed cross-country category (snowmobile, snowshoe, sledding or ungroomed trailheads).).

West Virginia

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 4 alpine resorts, 1 local ski areas, 1 nordic centers.

Known gaps: Web search quota ran out during the run. The six WV areas on the state tourism list are all recorded. Not checked: Monongahela National Forest and other state park/forest marked ski trails (the Forest Service pages fetched gave no trail list), small commercial Nordic operators (for example in Pocahontas County) and any closed areas, because no WV closure list was found. Winterplace operator site was blocked by bot protection, so its record rests on state tourism, Wikipedia and Indy Pass; Canaan Valley Resort and Snowshoe metrics are from older Wikipedia figures.

Excluded: Blackwater Falls State Park winter trails (Page read lists generic snow sports and sledding categories with no designated cross-country trail system, distance or grooming; not recorded as a destination.); Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge page lists cross-country skiing as an allowed activity but no designated, groomed or mapped ski trail system was found; not recorded as a destination.).

Wisconsin

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 9 alpine resorts, 21 local ski areas, 13 nordic centers, 4 private clubs, 90 public cross-country trails.

Known gaps: Alpine coverage rests on the Travel Wisconsin downhill report (31 ski hills after removing tubing-only rows) plus four private clubs from Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap; about half the hills were also checked on operator sites, the rest are association_listed. Vertical drop, lift counts, night skiing and snowmaking are mostly null because operator pages are script-driven; run counts come from the tourism report. Nordic coverage is partial: about 75 Travel Wisconsin cross-country listings and 24 DNR state parks and forests are recorded with tourism or DNR sources and approximate coordinates (county and trail length mostly not extracted), but county and national forest rows from the conditions report without listing pages (including Chequamegon-Nicolet, Dane, Douglas, Bayfield and Ashland counties), Birkie-adjacent club trails and many local systems are not recorded. Sunset Hill at Forest Springs, Telemark and Navarino could not be resolved. Web search was unavailable after mid-session, so no per-area news check for 2026-27 closures was done.

Not yet confirmed: Sunset Hill at Forest Springs, Telemark Lodge (Cable) and Mount Telemark Village, Navarino Slopes (Navarino), Silver Mine (Eau Claire Flying Eagles Ski Club), Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest ski trail systems and Dane, Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, Marinette and other county ski systems.

Excluded: Badlands SnowPark (Hudson) (Tubing only (400 covered tubes); listed in the Travel Wisconsin downhill section); Sylvan Tubing Hill (Wausau) (Tubing only); Whitetail Ridge Tubing Hill, Winter Park Tubing Hill, Minocqua Winter Park Tubing (Tubing rows on the Travel Wisconsin report; ski hill and Nordic records exist separately where applicable); Book Across the Bay (Ashland) (An event on Lake Superior, not a facility); Fontana Sports Specialties, Nordic Specialists, Out There Nordic Sports (Shops listed in the Travel Wisconsin cross-country section); Deerskin, North End and Somers Lake snowshoe trails (Snowshoe-only listings); McMiller Ski Trails (second Travel Wisconsin listing) (Duplicate of McMiller Cross-Country Ski Trails in Eagle).

Wyoming

Partial, researched Oct 29, 2026. 7 local ski areas, 4 alpine resorts, 1 nordic centers, 5 public cross-country trails, 2 guided operations.

Known gaps: Snow King (HTTP 403 block), Meadowlark (DNS failure) and Sleeping Giant (landing-page domain) could not be checked on operator sites; Snow King, Meadowlark and Sleeping Giant are secondary_only and will be held for review. Casper Nordic Center rests on the XCSAA listing because the county site failed SSL. Most alpine metrics are Wikipedia values. Coordinates for the alpine areas are map points from the Wikipedia list; Nordic and guided entries use town-level approximations or null. No land-manager backcountry resource page or hut system was verified, and the web search budget ran out before further Nordic and Forest Service discovery.

Not yet confirmed: Meadowlark Ski Lodge (Ten Sleep), Sleeping Giant Ski Area (Cody), Yellowstone National Park groomed winter ski trails, Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National Forest Nordic and backcountry areas (Togwotee Pass, Turpin Meadow, Teton Pass), Lander, Pinedale, Laramie and Cody area community Nordic trails (e.g., Sinks Canyon, White Pine Nordic).

Excluded: JH Nordic (Information site for trails and grooming, not a venue); Skinny Skis (Retail and rental shop listed by XCSAA, not a ski area); Darwin Ranch (Guest ranch listed by XCSAA; not a ski facility); Grand Targhee Powder Cats (Not separately verified; mentioned only in Wikipedia text under Grand Targhee).
