One of the nicest parts of the winter wilderness is the absolute silence. "You can hear your hair growing back there" say some local cross country gurus. Several cross country skiing locations exist both north and east of Durango. For the new skier, several groomed locations exist, including Durango Mountain Resort, and Vallecito reservoir. For the brave, take your gear and pull over to any nice spot on Molas pass, and away you go (Use your head, always ski with a partner, avalanche beacon, shovel and probe).
