• 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.

Are you an ace skier on the slopes, but yet to explore the beautiful backcountry? Worry not! If you can handle the black diamond trails on the slopes, you’re equipped to take on the beauty of Colorado’s backcountry. We undertake full safety reviews, including assessing potential avalanche threats and other potential hazards unseen by a novice eye.

Our skilled and professional guides will enlighten you on uphill and downhill skiing techniques, managing risks and decision-making in the backcountry. You can bring your own equipment, or use our convenient rental packages to get completely geared up.

Short on equipment? Don’t sweat it. Procuring rentals can be a burden, particularly when on a tight schedule. We’ve got it covered. We run a comprehensive backcountry rental shop from our basecamp in Silverthorne, CO. Taken a guided tour or course with us? Then you’re eligible for a discount.
