CROSS COUNTRY INFORMATION

  • Park only in designated areas. These are identified by large trail-head parking signs.
  • Skiing is recommended in areas north and south of U.S. 40 from the West Summit east to Walton Creek.
  • Ski routes are marked with blue diamonds on trees. Posts or bamboo poles are placed in open areas along the routes when snow depth permits. After heavy snowfalls, the posts and poles may be covered with snow and not visible.
  • Routes are not groomed and have sections of steep ascent and descent. Skiers should have the skills to handle varied terrain and snow conditions before attempting these routes. The exception is Bruce's Trail, which is occasionally groomed in the early and late ski seasons.
  • Dogs are permitted, but not encouraged. Dog's feet damage ski tracks, and droppings are irritating to those who leave their pets at home.
  • Snowshoers are welcome to use the marked cross country ski routes on Rabbit Ears Pass, but they should travel parallel to the ski tracks, not on them. Snowshoes damage ski tracks.
