Idaho Statesman -- Edition Date: 12/04/07

The Bear Basin Nordic ski trails are open for the season with 10 kilometers of groomed trails now groomed and 15 kilometers to 20 kilometers scheduled to be open by the weekend for a grand opening of the trail system, and new parking area and yurt.

The trailhead location has moved to a new and expanded parking facility one half mile up North Club Hill Road (quarter mile further west of old parking lot). Skiers should turn north off of Idaho 55 about 1.25 miles west of McCall. Look for the Bear Basin Trailhead sign.

There will be a grand opening Saturday and Sunday starting at 10 a.m. each day. Hot drinks and treats will be available at the yurt, and season passes will be available for sale. Daily trail pass fees are $8 per day for adults, $4 for those under 18 and $2 for dogs.

Brad, I am pretty sure they groom for skating as well. I was told last year it was incredible by a group that pretty much only does skate skiing.
