The Downhill Category lists the available resorts from the Yellowstone National Park communities. They range from world class to a quiet and relaxed atmosphere all within easy access to the park. We recommend expanding your vacation by downhilling one day and try snowmobiling in the park or riding the rockies the next. Most who have tried it, come back for the same Yellowstone experience each year. Check with the resorts and snowmobile operators for packages and discounts.
Shuttles are also available from the resorts to each gateway community around the park.
Cross Country Skiing Y ellowstone serves up some of the finest cross-country skiing opportunities in the West. Its deep, powdery snow and its high, relatively gentle, rolling terrain, provide ideal conditions for extended trips. But Yellowstone is cold during winter. Temperatures have been recorded at minus 65 F , and it is not unusual to have stretches of several weeks during which the temperature remains below 0 F , usually the week between Christmas and New Year's, and into January. Some of the best skiing or snowshoeing occurs in late winter or early spring, when daylight hours are longer, snow is plentiful, and temperatures are more moderate.
