As Colorado’s temps continue to drop, so comes the shift from warm Rocky Mountain adventure to enchanted winter wonderland exploration.
Our expert guides have access to a wide range of zones within the Sawatch mountain range, where you can experience a number of memorable challenges and winter thrills.
The backcountry of Colorado offers a stillness and solitude unlike any other. In order to enjoy it fully and stay safe, enroll in one of our certification courses.
Here’s a look at our winter menu of non-motorized outdoor adventures.
Backcountry Ski/Splitboard
We offer full-day Backcountry Ski or Splitboard trips for skill levels ranging from first-timers and intermediate shredders to advanced riders. Our guides determine routes based on ability and snow/weather conditions.
