Outdoors for Everyone
Crosscut is committed to expanding access to outdoor education and recreation for underserved communities across Montana. Through our Ski Education and Global Snowsports programs, we serve thousands of students and families each winter that traditionally haven’t had opportunities to participate in snow sports. We provide access directly through our programs and by partnering with other impactful organizations. From adaptive athletes to multilingual learners, we strive to create inclusive, meaningful opportunities for all to explore, learn, and thrive outdoors.
Programs at Crosscut
In addition to our fantastic trail system, we also offer a number of programs serving all ages. Our Outdoor Education, Mountain Bike, and Biathlon programs have offerings for youth and adults in summer and winter.

Voluntary Summer Trail Pass
To help cover the summer operating expenses at Crosscut Mountain Sports Center, consider supporting our nonprofit organization with a voluntary trail pass. Crosscut offers 15 miles of single-track trails for mountain biking, hiking, trail running, and e-mountain biking. Additionally, our cross-country ski trails offer great hiking and add many more miles of enjoyment and exploration to our summer trail system.
Skyloppet
February 14-15, 2026: Skyloppet is Crosscut’s new signature Nordic ski event—a celebration of winter endurance, breathtaking trails, and Montana’s expansive skies. Set against the backdrop of the Bridger Mountains, this two-day event features skate and classic races for skiers of all ages and abilities. With world-class grooming, panoramic views, and a welcoming Nordic culture, Skyloppet is designed to offer something for everyone.
Land Acknowledgment
Our programs are held on the ancestral homelands of the Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (Blackfoot), Apsaalooké (Crow), Salish Kootenai, Cheyenne, and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux) peoples. We honor the past, present, and future of these Indigenous groups, and acknowledge their role as caretakers to this land.
