Description

Head to the Elk Mountains of Colorado and join a guided program in the backcountry of Crested Butte! This ski touring extravaganza places you in the heart of the Rockies and allows you to experience the snow that has made this region one of the world’s first class ski destinations!

Crested Butte sits just south-southwest of Aspen and Vail in the high profile Rocky Mountains in what has become one of the world’s premiere skiing locations. Thanks to the easy access, rugged and endless terrain, and top tier snow quality, this is becoming the go-to spot for superb backcountry skiing.

Drainage basins from the high mountains provide oodles of great ski routes, ensuring you are always hitting a new line each time descend the slopes. You can choose from wide open and long runs, tree-lined routes, thrilling couloirs and ridges, and steep Alpine bowls. Your options are endless.

This program is designed to give you a day or more in the pristine environment of the Elk Mountains. We can tailor a program for as many days as you need, so let me know what you are looking for and we can work a trip out together. Some common objectives are Mt. Emmons, Ruby Range, and Snodgrass, but we can carve out an agenda that fits your needs and abilities.

You should be in good shape for this program, capable of enduring Rocky Mountain backcountry both physically and mentally. Previous experience off-piste is necessary to get the most out of this trip.

The region is one of my favorites in the United States, so sharing it with you is an absolute pleasure. I will make sure you have a fun, safe, and all-around satisfying experience at Crested Butte. I know the area like the back of my hand, so you will be skiing like a local before the day is up.

What are you waiting for – book this Crested Butte backcountry skiing program NOW and live it up in the powder paradise of the Elk Mountains and the relentless backcountry of the Colorado Rockies!

We can also spend a day off-piste at Vail for a different take on a skiing adventure!

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!

Poor service from Explore-share! The vendor who provided the actual tour shared with Explore-share that heavy rains prevented them from doing a substantial section of the tour. I was not notified. The vendor also offered a substantial discount for what we were able to do and this was not shared with me either!

Neil was our guide and he was amazing! We did Camelback mountain climbing and he knew all about it and the other nearby mountains. Lots of great info and fun. I took my two boys, 9 and 11 years old plus climbed myself (44 years old). So perfect for all ages and skill levels. Definitely worth doing!!!

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
