Description

Discover the best backcountry ski runs in Colorado on this 5-day Star Peak ski traverse in Aspen.

The Star Peak Traverse is also known as the Aspen Haute Route. And it is definitely one of the most impressive hut to hut skiing adventures in Colorado.

During this trip, one of our guides will show you the way starting from the historical town of Ashcroft, connecting the Opa Hut to the Friends Hut, through three high mountain passes. During the expedition we will show you how to develop your mountaineering skills. We will instruct you on mountain traveling with skis, snow assessment to avoid avalanches, how to use of crampons., and how to use an ice axe for steeper climbing and skiing

On this adventure you will have a great time, while admiring some of Colorado’s most beautiful natural scenery. We will go over the Little Italian pass to the Taylor Peak. We will also ski down the north face of Star Peak. And we will see the incredibly beautiful Crystal Peak from an amazing perspective. Plus, you will see more stars than ever before when we spend the night up in the mountain huts.

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!
