Winter
Mid-December through Mid-March
Discover the Tranquil Beauty of Winter at the B Bar
Winter brings a different kind of beauty to Tom Miner Basin. Snow blankets the mountains, the pace slows, and the quiet of the season invites us to get outside and explore.
This winter, we welcome visitors to experience B Bar Ranch through cross-country skiing and stays at our West Bunkhouse. While our traditional all-inclusive retreats are on pause as we build The Gathering, our new kitchen and dining facility, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the ranch.
Cross-Country Skiing
With over 20 miles of groomed and backcountry trails, B Bar offers skiing for a range of abilities. Wind through open meadows, forests, and the snow-covered landscape of Tom Miner Basin. Pack a lunch, bring a friend, and enjoy a day on the trails.
Trails are open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., snow permitting. Please give us a call before heading out to check current conditions.
Stay at the West Bunkhouse
Make a weekend of it! Our West Bunkhouse offers a comfortable home base for families and small groups looking to spend a few days in the mountains. Enjoy a day of skiing, settle in for a cozy evening, and wake up surrounded by the stillness of winter.
The Ramshorn Classic Returns: February 27, 2027
Mark your calendars for our third annual Ramshorn Classic! Join us for a day of cross-country skiing, community, and winter fun in support of the Park County Environmental Council (PCEC).
We look forward to welcoming friends and neighbors back to the ranch for this special winter tradition.
One of my Favorite Things in Winter…
One of my favorite things in the winter here is to snowshoe up in deep snow. It is so hard, but it is so good for you.
