Nothing beats the solitude and beauty of a backcountry ski tour

It is common for our clients to ski high quality untracked snow many weeks after our last storm. Within 20 minutes from downtown Aspen, we can easily access amazing introductory to advanced backcountry ski-touring. Your private AMGA trained/certified backcountry ski guide will plan the appropriate day for you and your party based on your experience, abilities and best conditions. Whether you are brand new to the sport or a seasoned backcountry user, there is a lifetime of high quality uncrowded backcountry skiing options surrounding Aspen. We supply the required avalanche safety equipment complimentary.
