Winter Ski Touring
Snow has been falling steadily all season. The backcountry has been slowly filling in and we’ve been getting out on some of our favorite winter ski tours when we can.
Tagert Hut Christmas
Our annual Christmas Eve Hut Trip, now in its 9th year, was to Tagert Hut. Five of us made the trip up to celebrate the holiday and do a little skiing on Christmas morning.
Mount Arkansas
The Moonshine Couloir on Mount Arkansas might be the most committing line off a high 13er in the Tenmile/Mosquito Range
Snowmass Mountain – the Big Bowl
The big East Face of Snowmass Mountain is one of the best 14er ski descents in the Elk Mountains.
Mount Tweto
Easy access from Highway 91 by Fremont Pass, a gentle approach up the valley, and an interesting couloir that keeps you on your feet all make Mount Tweto a worthy spring ski descent.
Niagara Peak
Niagara Peak, #101 on the list of Colorado summits, has a really good north facing ski route.
Cirque Mountain
An early May ski descent of Cirque Mountain, 13,686 ft. in the Sneffels Range of the San Juans.
Mount Democrat – 4.28.18
A 2018 spring ski of the East Slopes of Mount Democrat.
Berner Oberland Ski Traverse
A five day ski traverse (loop) through the Berner Oberland region of the Swiss Alps with huts, summits, good weather and bad.
Spring Season
The days are longer, the temperatures warmer, and the snowpack, though thin, is stablizing. We love the arrival of spring because it signifies the start of our backcountry ski touring season.
