Back-country skiing Guides and Trips
Trips
We scout for backcountry opportunities near this resort area.
We skin up this friendly little ski area for a sample run.
The weather is too nice at the Pajarito ski area - the snow is dwindling fast.
Ann and I try for a moonlight ski, but it's mostly dark and snowy.
Ann and I hike up the ski basin on a
white day.
Snow is melting, so I catch it while I can from Aspen Vista. I made a fun video from this outing, which you can see on my blog.

Back-country skiing | 2.6 miles
To break up a long drive, we go for a little ski in Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah.
We try out some new alpine touring gear by hiking up Shafer Butte at the Bogus Basin ski area. The full story is in the blog entry.
I hike up the Santa Fe Ski Basin on my split board, and have a fantastic powder run down. Full write up on my blog.
A rewarding little out-and-back any time of year, but you can drive quite a bit further in the summer.
