Experience the thrill of skiing in Colorado’s backcountry with our guided tours. Learn uphill and downhill skiing techniques, risk management, and decision-making from our professional guides.
- Colorado Adventure Guides - Escape the crowded resorts and earn your turns on a backcountry skiing adventure in Colorado’s Summit County. Backcountry skiing is one of the best ways to enjoy the winter in Colorado. Not only does it provide the opportunity to extend your ski season but it allows you to experience something few skiers ever will, skiing powder in solitude. Enjoy some mellow turns in a fresh tree stash, lay the first line down the powder filled meadow, or even potentially traverse a high alpine ridge line to a snow-covered summit. CAG’s professionally trained guides are here to show you the way.
