Backcountry skiing and riding conditions in Crested Butte have finally come around from the slow start to our season. More continuous snowfall beginning in late-January has finally filled in most all slopes close to town and deeper in the range, and allowed us to get out and take advantage of what the Crested Butte Backcountry is known for….deep snow & lots of places to go ski !

At Crested Butte Mountain Guides, we’ve been busy getting out and enjoying the new snow ourselves, while also being able to share it with an in-flux of new and old ski guests alike, that have also been able to join us on taking advantage of winter’s late arrival. Backcountry ski & split-board tours, hut trips, and AIARE Avalanche Courses are all in full swing and enjoying some good conditions, while also managing some tricky avalanche conditions.

Spring is just around the corner, as we head around the bend into March….and that means our favorite season of all….Ski Mountaineering season !!! Put the winter’s ski legs to the test on our Colorado Spring Ski Mountaineering Camps in Crested Butte, or head farther and bigger to Alaska or Europe….we sure will be.
