These objectives are thoughtfully chosen for skiers who crave scale, exposure, and the satisfaction of linking turns through complex alpine terrain.
This trip features four iconic zones, each with its own character: Silverton’s Velocity Basin, with its massive bowls and clean fall-line skiing; Yankee Boy Basin above Ouray, where couloirs slice through towering walls; Telluride’s Ophir Pass, a playground of high peaks and remote chutes; and Durango’s Babcock Basin, where rugged summits guard long, committing descents. Together, they form a circuit of big objectives that showcase the diversity of the San Juans.
Cirque Guides brings deep knowledge of these mountains and a respect for their scale. We’ll help you sharpen your movement in big terrain, navigate complex snowpack and weather, and stack meaningful ski days that push your skiing to the next level.
