With hills and trails available for recreational and competitive use year 'round, Mt. Itasca is a community asset that is home to snow-sports athletes and enthusiasts of every age.

Mt. Itasca is one of the only facilities in the country that maintains venues for downhill, snowboard, biathlon, cross-country, ski jumping and Nordic-combined all at a single site. At the heart of the facility is the Itasca Ski & Outing Club, which is proud of supporting ski jumping in the area for more than a century. The center also boasts a world-class biathlon course that is home to the U.S. Junior Biathlon Team, as well as miles of trails available for recreational and competitive cross-country skiers, hikers and runners. The area's downhill runs have recently been enhanced to include the Area 51 snowboard terrain, with jumps, rails and other topographical essentials to that sport.
