Description:
Please only sign up if you can ski at a 6 kilometer per hour pace (including rests).
There is no doubt that Elk Pass on the Great Divide is the most popular destination in the park. It isn’t the environs of the pass or the views, which attract, but rather the character of the trail itself coupled with consistently excellent snow conditions, which draws skiers back to Elk Pass long after the snow has melted from low down on the trail.
