Event notes
The 2016 Eldora Rando Return at Eldora Mt. Resort is Saturday, December 3rd.


Uphill skiing is back at Eldora Mountain!!!



In honor of this awesome update we're kicking off the skimo season with the Eldora Rando Return which will strive to incorporate backcountry skiing and skinning into a ski mountaineering race.

If you’re an expert skier and can perform a kick-turn on a steep slope you’ll have a great day of ski racing. The Sport course is always a great option (and recommended) for first-timers.



– 1 PM START, late registration, number pick-up below Eldora's Timber Lodge next to Group Sales.

– The SPORT/RECREATION course will be approximately 2,500 ft., the RACE COURSE 4,500+.
