1. Birch Hill Recreation Area - on the hilly side but perfectly groomed trails about 20 minutes from downtown. classic and skate skiing.
2. University of Alaska, Fairbanks Ski Trails (West Ridge) - mix of hills and flats, about 10 minutes from downtown. classic and skate skiing
3. Creamer's Field - I access these trails mostly from Creamer's Field off of College Road but there are numerous access points on this network of ~80 km of trails. I like these trails because they are wide enough to skate ski and have only gentle knolls, i.e. no hills. You definitely need a map of these trails otherwise you might find yourself on a much longer ski than you intended (click on the link above and download the ADMA trails map). skate skiing, trails not groomed for classic.
