ABOUT THE SKI AREA
The Palouse Divide Nordic Ski Area is a non-motorized winter recreation area located 39 miles northeast of Moscow on Highway 6, just east of Harvard, Idaho. Elevation at the trailhead is 3600′. The ski area’s elevation and location means that it can catch many storms and sustain a deep snowpack even when there is little to no snow in the nearby cities like Moscow and Pullman.
Park N’ Ski passes are required at the trailhead. Both season passes and 3-day passes are available at Hyperspud Sports and other Idaho retailers.
Your Idaho Park n’ Ski Pass and your club dues both ensure our trails are groomed and facilities are maintained
The Palouse Divide Nordic Ski Area has approximately 20 miles of marked trails maintained by the club in partnership with the US Forest Service and the Palouse Divide Lodge. The Palouse Divide Nordic Ski Club is an Idaho non-profit organization existing for the sole purpose of maintaining the Nordic ski trails. We are a group of volunteers and can always use more help.
Please renew your club dues to help support trail maintenance. You can pay dues online or stop by Hyperspud Sports in Moscow to renew and buy your Idaho Park N’ Ski pass.
