Everyone knows that the Rocky Mountains of Colorado truly are a Winter Wonderland. We have plenty of powder to enjoy on a backcountry ski or splitboard tour. Or try out a fat bike ride over groomed trails of snow. We also offer ice climbing trips for a variety of abilities.
Backcountry Ski/Splitboard
Details
We have access to a variety of zones within the massive Sawatch mountain range which allows us to cater to a wide range of abilities. Shorter pitches with gladed trees are great for first timers and intermediate shredders who just want a casual day of powder turns. Steeper alpine bowls provide a high mountain experience for advanced riders. Guide will determine actual route based on ability and snow/weather conditions. The natural snow surface can create challenging conditions, even on mellow terrain. So all participants should be confident navigating black diamond slopes at a ski area.
