This area offers a variety of cross-country skiing options from easy trails to the most challenging in the area. If you ski the entire trail network, you will pass through the quiet majesty of the conifer collection; see a large number of birds wintering in the holly collection; and pass through the sugar maple area.
The trails are open December through February as long as a snow base of 8" is present. Members ski for free, but non-members must pay a daily admission charge of $6. The trails are open daily from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. All skiers must park in the main parking area and register at the desk inside the Corning Visitor Center. The trails near the visitor center are groomed. Those at the farther reaches of the Arboretum are not. Cross-country trails are color-coded and marked by tall poles with painted ends. You must follow established trails at Holden.
