Cross-Country Skiing

Well, once again, Mother Nature is laughing at us. On this 1st day of April we woke to 8 inches of fresh Champagne powder! Last week I was ready to hang up the poles, put the ski boots in the closet and a fresh set of wax on the skis so they could go to the garage - glad I didn’t get around to it! I will be off for a ski in about an hour - as soon as Randy gets back from grooming. There is nothing quiet as exciting as being the first skate tracks around Aspen Arches or making turns down Boundary.
Ten days ago we were serving lunch on the back deck and taking in the beautiful Colorado sunshine - I don’t believe we’ll be doing that today. For those of you that are looking for a quick getaway, we have some space open until we close for the season on April 8th and fresh powder. Steamboat is also making some unbelievable deals this spring for guests interested in downhill skiing. I hear the mountain has received 48 inches of snow in the last 72 hours. Give me a call just to chat or to look into a last minute vacation!

This is the winter sport The Home Ranch has become known for over the last 25 years. We have some of the best snow and cross-country skiing in Colorado. Guided day trips, lessons, and our back country equipment are all part of our winter package. We have 
upgraded our grooming equipement with a Bombardier 160 with a double track, allowing us to maintain 24km of groomed trails throughout the ranch, offering you the ideal on-site experience.
We can introduce beginners to a whole new world in the snow. Advanced backcountry skiers can join our guides in private powder stashes on nearby Hanh’s Peak, Sand Mountain or above Hinman Park. The skiing doesn’t have to be extreme; many enjoy the relaxing nature walks on skis while enjoying the natural beauty of our Elk River valley and the nearby Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area.
