Colorado Cross Country Ski Association Sells Punch Pass

Granby, CO – Ski season is fast approaching as resorts are firing up snowmaking equipment, the temperature is dropping and Mother Nature is doing her best to don her winter wear. As you break out your snow season gear, don’t forget about your Nordic skis, snowshoes and fat bikes. There’s a whole other winter world out there, and Colorado Cross Country Ski Association (CCCSA) is making exploration easier.

The CCCSA 2016-17 Punch Pass is on sale now for $99. Similar to a ski resort pass, the Punch Pass allows purchasers to discover the snow, but on Nordic trails at six different resorts.

“Colorado has some of the finest Nordic experiences in the country and we want people to have the opportunity to explore them,” said Igor Guziur of Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Tabernash. “With six different resorts to experience, it’s a great way to see a side of Colorado that you may not have visited before.”

The punch passes are valid for two trail passes each to Breckenridge Nordic, Crested Butte Nordic, Devil’s Thumb Ranch, Keystone Nordic, Snow Mountain Ranch and Tennessee Pass Nordic Center, for 12 trail passes total. The punch passes are transferable, so two people could share a pass for double the fun. Additional discounts on rentals, tours and lodging with specified partners are also included in the pass.

“These punches are for trail pass access,” Therese Dayton with Breckenridge Nordic added. “Depending on the usage at each resort, you could try cross country skiing, skate skiing, snowshoeing or even fat biking with this pass.”
