With a Premium Nordic Ski Grooming Pass

The $25 (plus tax) annual Premium Nordic Ski Grooming Pass allows you and your family to ski the groomed trails at Harriman and Ponderosa State Parks. If you will only use the trails once or twice, you may find it more cost effective to purchase a daily $2-per-person individual pass. In either case, you will also need to pay a daily motorized vehicle entrance fee, or display a state parks annual passport for vehicle entrance at these parks. Passes are available at both parks.
