Clearwater National Forest
Skiing & Snowsports

From December through March, much of the forest is under a blanket of snow, creating many opportunities for the winter sports enthusiast. Snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are the most popular pursuits. Snow-covered roads throughout the Forest provide a place to cross-country ski and snowmobile. There are marked and groomed trails in the Palouse Divide Area north of Moscow and at Lolo Pass Winter Sports Area on US. 12. Because conditions can change rapidly in the winter, it is wise to check with a local Ranger Station before going into backcountry areas. At times there may be a danger of avalanches.
