Cross-country Ski Touring in Pennsylvania

Ski touring is the number one way Pennsylvanians enjoy cross-country skiing. With only a handful of cross-country ski centers in the state, most skiers put on their skis and make their own tracks. Ski touring is defined as skiing off track. However, skiers realize when one person is ahead of them in the snow there is a track. More precisely, ski touring is skiing on unprepared groomed tracks. In Pennsylvania there are numerous places to do this type of skiing. Some enjoy state parks, forests, and game lands. Others enjoy their own properties, town parks, public school grounds, and public golf courses. This page will focus on ski touring and how to enhance the experience.
