Our Reservation & Cancellations Policies

Please read our reservation policies below & call 719-486-8114 to make your Cookhouse reservation. Sleep yurts can be booked online via the Sleep Yurts page.

As of March 23rd, 2026, Tennessee Pass is still very much open and we’d love to see you! ❄️

The warm weather has brought our nordic ski operations to a close for the season, but there is still so much out here. The trails are beautiful for snowshoeing and hiking, the views are stunning, and it’s a really special time to visit.

The Cookhouse, Nordic Center, and Sleep Yurts are all open through April 13th. Come eat, come stay, come wander the trails.

Snag a reservation while you still can!
