From Carson, travel north on the Wind River Highway (County Route 30) to the forest boundary.

Location Information
Valley Ski Trail begins across Highway 30 opposite Oldman Pass Sno-Park. The trail is recommended for skiers with good downhill/uphill skills because steep hills require quick reactions and skill. The trail passes through the forest, descends into the Wind River Valley, and crosses a rough hewn bridge over the Wind River. After the bridge it climbs up to a clear-cut and intersects with Forest Route 3053. Many options exist to ski several different loops using this trail and connecting to Snofoot Trail #148, Snofoot Trail #150, or McClellan Meadows Trail #157 by using Forest Route 3053.
