Bernese Boulevard is a short, easy cross-country ski route on city land within the City of Aspen City Golf Course, about 1.3 miles long. It starts at roughly 7,872 feet and reaches a high point of about 7,916 feet, with a total climb of 45 feet and a total descent of 93 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 1.1 miles in, with a grade of about 2%. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Aspen show January highs around 32°F with lows near 10°F, while June and July run in the low to mid 70s. That station sits a few hundred feet higher than the route, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly warmer. The Moore Trail and ABC Trail are both within about half a mile. Climbers can find the East Face about a mile away, and Silver Bar Campground is about 4.6 miles off.
