Know before you go
- Trail passes
- The groomed centers sell day passes and rent skate and classic skis. Spooner Lake is groomed free by Nevada Nordic; you pay only the state park entry.
- Sno-Parks
- Taylor Creek, Blackwood Canyon, Echo Lake and Hope Valley need a California Sno-Park permit to park: $15 a day or $40 a season, bought before you arrive.
- Etiquette
- Keep off the set classic tracks when walking or snowshoeing, and give way to faster skiers on groomed lanes.
- Avalanches
- Trails beyond the groomed centers can cross avalanche terrain. Read the Sierra Avalanche Center forecast that morning.
