Following Rocky Mountain Nordic policy, we had to make the decision to relocate this event in advance of the scheduled date when we still did not have enough snow at Durango Nordic Center to groom and open our trails. In true Colorado Nordic spirit, multiple Nordic Clubs stepped up with proposals to host the Mike Elliott Youth Festival in honor of our very own Olympian, Mike Elliott.

YMCA of the Rockies -Snow Mountain Ranch is now hosting the Mike Elliott Youth Festival in combination with their Stampeded Nordic Race.
