This brand new snowshoe route features beautiful views, rolling terrain, and a rustic single track style trail. Distances – Full Loop: 1.25 miles / Short Cut Loop: .5 miles **Home of the [Birkie Wild Trail Activity](https://www.birkie.com/birkie-wild-programming/)!** Follow the Short Cut Loop to find 8 interactive stations along the trail.

[CAMBA Winter Trail Information](https://www.cambatrails.org/winter-fat-biking) ## Fat Bike Trail Conditions ***1.2.26*** – ONCE has been groomed 2 more times and is setting up well. Low tire pressure will be the key to an enjoyable ride. Bundle up and have fun! ***12.31.25*** – ONCE up at Mt, Telemark Village has been groomed and is now open. The trail is soft, but get out and enjoy. We suggest lowest pressure, widest tires your bike can handle. We will continue to groom it working to firm it up. (To access: park at the Hub building, ride down to the Birkie start area on your bike and access the MTB trail head just west of the timing building.) More information on bike trails can be found on our [Summer Trails page](https://www.birkie.com/trail-maps-conditions/). ## Sledding ### Enjoy Sledding at Mt. Telemark Village – Fun for All! Bring your sleds out to Mt. Telemark Village and use our new groomed sledding hill! The hill is located in the “bowl” area in front of [the Hub](https://www.birkie.com/mtv/hub/). Park in the Hub parking lot and walk through the Trek/OTM mountain bike arch to get to the groomed sledding hill area. Please walk up on the sides to avoid sledders coming down and to keep the hill surface smooth for all to enjoy. ## SkiMo - Skins Up, Ski Down We are now grooming the original *Valhalla* ski run at Telemark, which is the main run you see as you drive in. It will now be groomed as it snows (not as regularly as the cross-country ski trails, but as we are able to). Feel free to skin up, walk up, ski up….then enjoy the ride down! **Please don’t ascend on the groomed run, utilize the sides or any other route you want!** No pass necessary, but please consider a [donation to the ABSF/Telemark](https://www.birkie.com/give/) for trail maintenance and grooming. ## Winter Trail Maps [![Thumbnail american birkebeiner trail map](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-american-birkebeiner-trail-map-700x804.webp)](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Birkie-Pocket-Maps_Winter-2025-2026_101725.pdf) [![Thumbnail oo trailhead map](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-oo-trailhead-map-700x750.webp)](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-oo-trailhead-map-scaled.webp) [![Thumbnail mtv map](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-mtv-map-700x751.webp)](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-mtv-map-scaled.webp) [![Thumbnail fish hatchery creek trailhead map](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-fish-hatchery-creek-trailhead-map-700x658.webp)](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-fish-hatchery-creek-trailhead-map.webp) [![Thumbnail birkie ridge trailhead map](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-birkie-ridge-trailhead-map-700x660.webp)](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/thumbnail-birkie-ridge-trailhead-map.webp) ![Birkietrailelevation](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/BirkieTrailElevation-png.webp) ## Interactive Birkie Trail Map ### Additional Winter Trail Information [![The Birkie Trail System](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/btn-bg-birkie-trail.png)The Birkie Trail System100K+ Birkie Trail System](https://www.birkie.com/trail/) [![MTV Ski Trails](https://www.birkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/btn-bg-ski-trails-2.jpg)MTV Ski TrailsNatural & Machine-Made Snow Ski Trails](https://www.birkie.com/mtv/ski-trails/) [![Live Trail Cams](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/tile-bg-live-cameras.avif)Live Trail CamsLive Views of the Birkie Trail](https://www.birkie.com/trail/webcams/)
