There are three designated routes for uphilling during open hours. The one mapped here makes the go-to grind for many locals. It begins near Snow King Mountain Sports and King’s Grill, taking Cats Tail and Way Home trail to the summit. During operating hours you can then ski down any open run from there. This route is short and sweet enough that you might consider going up again, especially if you find motivation in local crushers lapping you on the uphill, which is likely to happen. Snow King makes the backyard training ground for many skimo athletes who call Jackson home.
