Winter Sports
Before you go, check out snow depth at the Snotel Information site and the local weather. It's also important to know the avalanche conditions, vist the National Avalanche Center and Avalanche.org to learn more. If you plan to ride the nearly 400 miles of over-snow vehicle trails, visit the Wyoming State Trails site for maps and information.
Skiing/Snowboarding
There are two downhill areas that offer wonderful skiing and snowboarding experiences for all experience levels.
Antelope Butte Mountain Recreation Area
Meadowlark Ski Area and Lodge
Snowmobiling
The Bighorn National Forest offers nearly 400 miles of over-snow vehicle trails. Wyoming law requires that all over-snow vehicles have either a resident or nonresident user fee decal adhered to the machine. The over-snow vehicle season in the Bighorns is December 1 thru April 15.
The Bighorn National Forest's over-snow vehicle trail system is maintained through cooperative efforts with the Wyoming Trails Program and local snowmobile clubs. For more information about over-snow vehicle trails, visit our cooperator at the Wyoming Trails Program.
