Please read the Eldora uphill policy here. All participants are required to hold a valid uphill Eldora pass AND have picked up their armband.
Uphill pass is free for all Eldora Alpine Season Pass or Ikon Season Pass holders — you’ll still need to pick up your arm band (see bulletpoint 3 below).
For all others, you’ll need to purchase a $99 uphill season pass here (click on “Get Uphill Pass”).
If you have already picked up your armband, you are good to go. If not, you will need to pick it up at the Eldora ticket counters.
"I can't say enough good things about Davide's skimo clinic. From seasoned skimo racers to first timers in our group, Davide really went out of his way to make sure each person improved their skills, had a great time, and ultimately left the clinic a better skier than they were before. You will not be disappointed!"
— Dan C. (February 1 Clinic attendee)
