If you’re looking for a run that captures everything we love about Snowmass, Grey Wolf is it. Featured in our Aspen Snowmass Favourite Runs series, this trail combines flow, pitch and scenery in a way that keeps skiers of all levels coming back for more.
Access Point
Grey Wolf is easily reached from the Elk Camp Chair, making it one of the most accessible and rewarding runs on the mountain. No matter how your day is shaping up, it’s always worth heading here for a lap (or three).
The Experience
From the very first turn, Grey Wolf sets the tone. The fall line is smooth and inviting, encouraging wide-open arcs that feel effortless. It’s the kind of run where you can carve big, sweeping turns or just let the skis run and enjoy the natural rhythm of the slope.
Grey Wolf is known for its versatility. On a powder morning, it transforms into a soft playground with endless fresh turns. After grooming, it becomes a perfectly maintained cruiser – fast, flowing and fun. That balance makes it a run you can enjoy any time, in any condition.
When It’s Best
Grey Wolf shines in all kinds of snow, but there are times when it’s truly unforgettable:
- On a powder day – soft, forgiving turns and never too steep.
- When freshly groomed – the perfect carving canvas for smooth, controlled speed.
- Late in the day – when your legs are tired but you still want one last great lap.
