Routes:
Uphill access is permitted at Howelsen Hill. During operating hours, guests who would like uphill access have two options:
- Take Lower Hobo Park XC trail up Mile Run and immediately exit the ski area onto Blackmer Trail.
- The preferred alternative is to park at the Blackmer Trail trailhead in the Fairview Neighborhood (instead of the base of Howelsen Hill Ski Area) and avoid any potential conflicts on downhill ski runs. Uphill access is not permitted on any other trails during operating hours.
