BACKCOUNTRY SKI

Ultimate Ski Trip

Get the full experience and sample all the San Juan Mountains have to offer.

Variety is the spice of life! The Ultimate Ski Trip is your ticket to sample different terrain all throughout the San Juans. We will build a three day backcountry ski trip based around where you are visiting Telluride, Silverton, Ouray/Ridgway or Durango. 

Each day we will sample different terrain from the iconic Highway 550 Corridor of Red Mountain Pass down to the backcountry ski mecca of Silverton, Colorado. We can customize ski days around Lizard Head Pass; only moments away from Telluride, or venture into the La Plata Mountains; just outside of Durango.  A lifetime of skiing is available throughout this zone and we will hit the best tours and snow the area has to offer.

Not an expert skier? New to the backcountry? No problem! We customized our terrain and tours to your needs. Together we will build a daily tour plan and discuss our decision making in the backcountry. 

Couple your backcountry ski days with some on-piste time at Telluride Ski Resort, Silverton Mountain, Purgatory Resort, or Wolf Creek Ski Area….making for an unforgettable week of skiing on the Western Slope!
