Situated in the heart of the stunning San Juan Mountains, on the western slopes of the Colorado Rockies, Telluride is the perfect place to get off-piste and explore the backcountry.
After meeting up at the backcountry access gates outside Telluride Ski Resort, we will head out to the Bear Creek drainage area. Here, we'll find plenty of excellent runs.
Expect to skin for about a kilometer, gaining 200 meters in elevation, before enjoying phenomenal views out over this picturesque part of the Rockies. We'll then proceed to enjoy various incredible descents, taking advantage of the dry and light powder characteristic of this part of the state.
In order to gain as much altitude as we can, we'll use some of the local resort lifts. These will get us up above the tree line and to various different parts of the resort.
The last ride of the day will see us cruise right down from the top of Gold Hill Ridge to the the door step of the Oak Bar, in Telluride (provided conditions are appropriate).
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, exciting and scenic 1-day backcountry skiing adventure in Bear Creek!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
