Where to Find Winter Trails in Central Oregon

Central Oregon is for the adventurous. When the temp drops below freezing and snow is on the ground, you can guarantee that we’d rather be fat biking or snowshoeing then staring at this screen. Take a moment and find your Central Oregon Winter trail.

Where to Find Winter Trails in Central Oregon

Central Oregon is for the adventurous. When the temp drops below freezing and there’s snow on the ground you can guarantee that we’d rather be out playing in it then pent up inside. And we feel lucky here in Central Oregon to be surrounded by so many extraordinary wilderness areas that provide almost limitless opportunities for an outdoor adventure.

Two of our favorite and easily accessible ways to experience the beauty of Winter in Central Oregon is by bombing the trails on a fat tire bike and exploring the wilderness by snowshoe. If you’ve not made your way into the blanket of white yet this year, what are you waiting for? There is a trail for all experience levels. Find your trail from the list below. Winter won’t last forever.

Frosty's Fat Bike Race Series at Nordic Valley, UT

It was fun to stop by and be a part of the Frosty's Fat Bike Race Series at Nordic Valley Ski Resort today. It was a great event where they had 43 participants that raced a 2 mile loop course for up to 12, 9, and 6 miles for Expert, Sport, and Beginner respectively. 

A fat bike is a tire width of 3.75" wide plus. Most commonly fat bikes are fully rigid with no suspension but now you will find fat bikes with front suspension or front and rear suspension as found on most mountain bikes. Fat bikes are rapidly increasing in popularity. In addition to packed snow and Nordic trails, you can find them on hunting trails, city trails, and in the summer months on dirt single track trails. They are quite versatile and really fun to ride!

The race was sponsored by Nordic Valley in Eden, UT, Mad Dog Cycles of Provo, UT, and The Bike Shoppe of Ogden, UT. Thanks for allowing Good Bike Co. to be a part of your event.
