Woodstock Nordic Center

Woodstock Nordic Center is the most over-priced cross-country skiing experience I’ve ever paid for. In 2026, it cost me $165 for one adult and one child from 12–4pm, including rentals and day passes. Their “half-day” rate doesn’t even begin until 2pm, which makes a midday visit disproportionately expensive. For comparison, in 2025 I paid $90 at Vikings and $76 at Wild Wings for similar rentals and trail access, and the overall experience was no less enjoyable than at Woodstock. The high price is a significant deterrent. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning or recommending this resort.

This was my first time ever on cross country skis. My instructor, Jennifer, was so kind and patient with a nervous rookie. I learned a lot and had a great time! Can't wait to come back!

I’m a relatively new cross country skier, but I don’t think I’m wrong in reporting that this place is absolutely fantastic! There is such incredible diversity of terrain, from plenty of beautifully groomed flat trails meandering along brooks and through meadows to all sorts of varied trails heading up the mountainside. They had a well stocked gear shop and the rental process was quick and simple. The staff was friendly and helpful, as were the other skiers—I got some technique tips from a friendly gentlemen and am very appreciative! Can’t wait to come back.

Our family rented skis and took lessons and had a great time on the trails at the center and on Mount Peg! Really nice staff/instructors and the ski shop has loads of XC gear! My daughter and her husband rented snowshoes from them the next day and walked the trails at Mt. Tom. Highly recommended!

5 Stars – Outstanding Experience! I had a fantastic experience at Woodstock Nordic Center! My private lesson with Doug was outstanding—he's an incredible instructor who explains everything in detail, from ski and pole anatomy to body positioning and technique. His coaching was thorough, helpful, and packed with great pointers that made a real difference. The entire staff was equally impressive—friendly, welcoming, and committed to top-notch customer service. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their skills or just enjoy a great day on the trails!

I had an excellent lesson with Doug. He assessed my skill level and then taught accordingly. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I'm feeling more confident about skiing again! Highly recommended. (And the snow was great too on the course too, at least in the flat areas. Woodstock does excellent grooming. And more good news is that four more inches of snow are due tomorrow!

Everyone is very helpful and we had several instructors who all were patient and helped us improve our skills.

The trail parallels the highway, the sound of cars accompany you along the way. Access is seriously overpriced for the experience it offers.
