The Grand Traverse is a point-to-point ski race from Crested Butte to Aspen. Racers travel 40 miles across the Elk Mountain range, climbing over 6,800 vertical feet. To ensure competitor safety, racers must have a partner, carry mandatory gear, and begin the race at midnight when avalanche hazard is decreased.
The Grand Traverse is operated as a fundraising event for Crested Butte Nordic, a 501(c)(3) recreational non-profit organization.
Priority registration will be open from November 3–16. It is available to participants who were registered and checked in for the 2025 GT Ski, as well as volunteers who filled hard-to-serve roles during the Summer GT. General registration for the Triple Crown opens on Monday, November 17.
General registration for the ski, run, and bike opens at midnight on Sunday, December 1st.
