In Europe the term "Ski Circus" is used for alpine areas which are connected by a network of lifts and trails, many times allowing the skier to ski from town to town. The Bemrose Ski Circus has a series of inter-connecting cross-country skiing trails for all ability levels. The area?s low potential for avalanches makes it an attractive area for beginner / intermediate skiers. After the first mile, options for a few downhill turns are plentiful.
Only the main loop is marked with blue diamonds. The trailhead is up a small embankment from the parking lot, so you will have to hike up to it. From the trailhead follow the route marked with blue diamonds as the trail heads north on an easily followed water diversion ditch. Where the ditch intersects Bemrose Creek skiers can explore higher up or glide gently down to the lower access point.
From I-70 take Exit 203, Frisco / Breckenridge, and travel south on HWY 9 through Frisco and travel to Breckenridge. From the southern town limits of Breckenridge drive south 11 miles on HWY 9 to the summit of Hoosier Pass. Park in the large plowed parking lot with the Continental Divide sign.
