Why do we love living in Plumas County during the Winter? We love the natural beauty of our mountains and stream, playing in the great outdoors, our local culture and events and so much more!
Whether you want to ski, downhill or cross country, snow shoe, or snowmobile, our snowy Northern California slopes have it all.
Here are some of the great things that you can do during winter in Plumas County:
Coppervale Ski Hill
Come to the Coppervale Ski Hill, located west of Susanville and 19 miles from Chester. There are ski trails for all levels of skiers, as well as bowl, face and a new terrain park, perfect for skiers or snowboarders. Plus, you can also enjoy cross country skiing through the beautiful forest wilderness.
Eureka Bowl
This magnificent, historic skiing area is owned by the Plumas Ski Club, which is found in Plumas-Eureka State Park near the city of Johnsville. It is thought to be the first American ski lift. For additional excitement, the company is now building a new ski chairlift, and there is also a lodge with a café and plenty of amenities (including longboard activities).
Snowmobiling in Plumas
Many people enjoy riding snowmobiles through Plumas County in the Lassen and Plumas National Forests, so they can race around on frozen lakes or up a mountain, or cruise the majestic forests for an afternoon. Plus, snowmobilers can head to Lakes Basin Recreation Area or choose to go to Buck’s Lake, or La Porte, or perhaps the Butte Meadows – all of these are in the area, and have lots for tourists to do.
