Winter Activities

The Bighorn National Forest offers 387 miles of snowmobile trails, two downhill ski areas, and four cross-country ski trails.

The Bighorn National Forest offers great powder riding as well as groomed trails for the snowmobile enthusiast. The snowmobile season is December 1 thru April 15. Snow depths and trail conditions are available in Current Conditions. Wyoming law requires that all snowmobile have either a resident or nonresident user fee decal adhered to the machine.

Located in the majestic Big Horn Mountains are two downhill ski areas, Antelope Butte Ski Area and Big Horn Mountain Resorts. Antelope Butte is located off of US Highway 14 and features two chair lifts, one beginner lift and nineteen runs. The longest run is one and a half miles long.

Big Horn Mountain Resorts is located off of US Highway 16 and features a triple chair lift, a double chair lift, a beginner lift, and 20 runs.

Currently both ski areas are closed at this time.

Ski enthusiasts escape onto the forests four cross-country ski areas. These trails have yet to be discovered by most Nordic skiers and offer plenty of solitude. Sibley and Antelope Butte cross-country ski trails can be accessed from US Highway 14 in the northern Big Horns and Pole Creek and Willow Park from US Highway 16 on the southern end of the Big Horns. Snow and trail conditions are available through the links below.
