Guided Backcountry Adventure

Our knowledgeable guides know how to find untracked glades, perfect steep chutes, and the best terrain in Central Colorado

Encounter pristine winter conditions in the Sawatch Range

Your guide will lead you on a backcountry tour to access some of the most secluded and unspoiled areas along the continental divide. Skiers and splitboarders should have confidence in their downhill ability for our backcountry adventures but need not be experts. Your guided backcountry tour is customized to your skill level and goals while staying safe and making memories that will last a lifetime. Depending on conditions, sometimes we will use snowmobiles to access terrain.
