Nordic Valley Offers Kids 12 & Under Ski Free
In the year 1968, a small ski area in the heart of Utah’s powder country was born—Nordic valley. Nordic Valley is nestled deep in the heart of the Wasatch Mountains, however, it is just a few short miles from the restaurants, entertainment and comforts of the booming town of Ogden. Named by Forbes magazine as the third best city in the country to raise a family, Nordic Valley is one of the most accessible, family and budget-friendly ski areas in the country.
Nordic Valley is famous for its ski school, intermediate and advanced slopes, and family-friendly atmosphere. Nordic Valley was immortalized as one of the best downhill training ski areas for the 2002 Winter Olympics, which the Austrians discovered was worth pure Gold.
In 2020, Nordic Valley unveiled their new high-speed 6-pack chair lift, the Nordic Express. This lift doubled skiable acres, increased peak elevation to 7060', and added 20 new ski runs. The resort's largest expansion project in over 50 years since Apollo(formerly Viking) was first built in 1970.
