Joel Likes Flowy is a cross-country ski route in Colorado, about 1.3 miles from the town of Marshall. The route is short, at 0.22 miles, and the climb is nearly flat, with the high point at 5,415 feet and the low at 5,403 feet. It is a moderate outing, and the start sits at 5,409 feet. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boulder show January highs around 47°F with lows near 21°F, while July highs reach about 88°F.
