Cross Country Skiing Blueberry Hill Via Elk Pass / Kananaskis

Blueberry Hill via Elk Pass (LD)
Description:
  


There is no doubt that Blueberry Hill and 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 Blueberry Hill and Elk Pass long after the snow has melted from low down the trail.

Please be aware if there is inclement weather forecasted the day of the event, it may be rescheduled and / or cancelled.
