For cross country skiers there are 52km of trails.

Dog Sledding Adventures and a Fountain Tire Tube Park make for extra winter fun. You can relax in one of the outdoor hot tubs or take a turn around the skating rink or the 'Skating Adventure Loop'.

Biking at Apex is appealing, not only to the cross country and downhill enthusiasts, but also the less adventurous riders. Old mining roads make it easier to explore the backcountry or you can enjoy single-tracks which take you through meadows and pine forests. Mountain bikes can be taken up the chairlift.
