With
over 250 days of sun and hundreds of inches of soft, low density powder,
backcountry skiing in the San Juan Mountains is next to perfect. For
those interested in day trips we'll explore the fresh powder on Red Mountain
Pass and
then soak in the hot springs near the Ouray
Ice Park or at our favorite in neighboring Ridgway
Colorado.
Our preference is to make a reatreat of a
backcountry tour and stay a few days where the access to fresh morning
turns is unparalleled. We'll snow camp in comfort, practice 101
Crash Course skills, work on team building and get in lots and lots of turns.
Contact us to book your winter backcountry
skiing adventure of a lifetime.

Diamond
Great gear starts with great ideas, which in turn inspire great
designs. The Black Diamond design team is made up of a bunch of
climbers and skiers who have
dedicated themselves to perfecting ideas, concepts, and creating truly
great gear. At Backcountry Retreats, we use their gear on rock,
ice, snow and in the
depths of the wilderness.
