28 The Great Minnesota Ski Pass Get one and go! All cross-country skiers age 16 or older must have a Minnesota Ski Pass to use ski trails in state parks or state forests or on state or Grant-in-Aid trails. • You must sign your ski pass and carry it with you when skiing. • Rates are $5 for a daily ski pass, $15 for a one-season pass, and $40 for a three-season pass. • Ski pass fees help support and maintain Minnesota’s extensive cross-country ski trail system. • Daily ski passes are sold in park offices where weekend and holiday staff are available. Self-registration for one-season and three-season passes is available daily at all Minnesota state parks except Carley, George H. Crosby-Manitou, Monson Lake, and Schoolcraft. • You can also get daily, one-season, and three-season ski passes using Minnesota’s electronic licensing system, available at 1,750 locations around the state. To find a location near you, check the ELS page at mndnr.gov or call the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or 1-888-646-6367. Metro Area Ski Trails 29 If you purchase a Minnesota ski pass for a special event such as candlelight ski event at a Minnesota state park, you may be wondering where else you can use it. Many cross-country ski trails throughout the state are developed and maintained with state and Grant-in-Aid funding. Grant-in-Aid trails are maintained by local units of government and local ski clubs, with financial assistance from the Department of Natural Resources. These trails require users age 16 or older to carry the pass. Twenty ski pass trails are located in the Twin Cities metro area.
