Nordic passes for Quigley and the North Valley trails are now on sale.

The Blaine County Recreation District is offering adult passes for a discounted price of $275 plus tax during the pre-season sale, which runs through Nov. 23. BCRD/Sun Valley Nordic Combo adult season passes are $604 plus tax.

Snowshoe-only and fat bike-only season passes are available for $75 plus tax. Season passes for dogs to use on approved Nordic trails are available for $60 plus tax.

All passes are available at https://bcrd.org/.

Children 17 and under ski, snowshoe, and fat bike free with a complimentary season pass, also available at https://bcrd.org/.

Passes are good on more than 200 kilometers of Nordic ski and snowshoe trails in what is said to be one of the largest Nordic trail systems in the United States. Last year Nordic skiers were able to jump on groomed trails in mid-November and ski through the end of April.

Pass sales and donations help pay for the groomers and Pisten Bullys that maintain the trails. Those who wish can kick in a little extra by making a tax-deductible donation and receiving a complimentary Diamond ($1,000), Platinum ($500), Gold ($250) or Bronze ($100) pin.
