The Great Minnesota Ski Pass is your ticket to 1,100 miles of groomed ski trails at over 90 destinations across the state. Your ski pass fee goes directly toward grooming cross-country ski trails!
If you are 16 or older, you must have a ski pass to ski on groomed trails in Minnesota state parks or state forests, or on state or grant-in-aid trails. Sign your ski pass and be sure to carry it with you every time you go skiing. (If you prefer, take a photo of both sides of your pass and carry it on your phone.)
