Töö Ashuu (Kyrgyz: Төө-Ашуу, [tœː ɑʃuː]; Russian: Тёо Ашуу), literally "camel pass", is a mountanin pass in Kyrgyzstan on the highway from Bishkek to Osh (European route E010) in Kyrgyzstan approximately 120 km from Bishkek. The pass is a part of the Kyrgyz Alatau range of the Tien Shan mountains. A road tunnel is built there at the altitude of 3130m to 3180m above the sea level.

A ski resort is situated on the south slope of the Too Ashuu pass at 2960m.a.s.l. The resort has one blue 1500m long ski slope operated by a chairlift with height difference of 200m. There is a possibility to ski further 1500m down to the highway. Shuttle marshrutkas take then the skiers back to the top section of the resort.
