Bigfork Community Nordic Center (BCNC) is located on Montana State land at the corner of Foothills road & Jewel Basin road. Over 10 kilometers of varied terrain (including flat, rolling and challenging hills) are groomed 5 days per week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from December thru March 31.
In accordance with Montana State Law, skiers using Bigfork Community Nordic Center are required to have a valid “Montana Recreational Use License.”
We pay an annual State “Land Use License” fee of $800 to the MT Department of State Lands for the use of the BCNC trail system. We also expend considerable funds each week to maintain the trails, as well as maintain grooming equipment.
Our BCNC trails are groomed for skiers. Snowshoers are welcome, but please observe posted trail etiquette signs.
We specifically request that hikers (without snowshoes), snowmobilers, ATV-ers, snow-bikers and fat bikers respect the intended ski use of our trail system and find other areas to recreate.
BCNC DOG POLICY: Dog tracks and dog “dirt” damage the groomed trail surface. PlEASE respect the intended use of and considerable expense invested in the BCNC Nordic trails. Thank you!

0 degrees and no new snow. We made two passes on all trails last night so everything should be smoothed out and ready. Break out the green wax and bundle up and tap into those deep nordic roots and enjoy the cool weather!
Our track setter is not working on the grooming equipment so until that is fixed there won’t be any fresh track set…

14 degrees with 1-2” of new snow. Lower loops have been groomed..track was groomed over to pack in new snow, and unfortunately as we went to set new track the track setter stopped working. Hopefully we can get it working again soon and new track set…

A cool 8 degrees and snow is squeaky cold this morning…just what nordic skiing is supposed to be! We spent most of our time on the upper loops this morning since they were in the roughest shape. We also put in the first track of the season on the upper loops, not all the track went in pretty and nice…but it’s in! We made a couple passes on the lower loops as well, with old track still in. Bundle up and enjoy winter!

25 degrees and all trails have been groomed. Old track is still there, snow melted yesterday and froze hard last night so snow consistency is like skiing on marbles…which can be fun and fast! Come on out and enjoy more winter like temps!

28 degrees and a fogging and frosty morning. There will be no grooming today, lower loops got a lot of traffic yesterday so they won’t be skiing real well today. Upper loops may ski better today. Track is decent on lower loops so maybe a good day to tour in the tracks. We’ll be out tomorrow morning to clean things up and make it nice again….

28 degrees and the lower loops have been groomed, track was left from yesterday. We did not hit the upper loops as we ran out of time and they were looking to be in somewhat decent shape. Tomorrow is our off day but will be back out Wednesday to clean up the upper loops…enjoy the snow!
