Ski Hut Trips in the San Juan Mountains

The San Juan Mountains are host to some of the finest backcountry terrain in Colorado. Coal Bank, Molas, and Red Mountain passes allow us to access the best ski tours at, and above, 10,000 feet where pristine powder skiing is just waiting to be had. Our hut trips afford us the ability to stay in a warm comfortable hut that is convenient to many of the best ski tours in the San Juans, and eliminates the need to drive to the start of our ski tours. Just put on your boots, strap on your skins, shoulder your backpack, and we're ready to go. A hut trip is quite possibly the most enjoyable way to spend a few days in the mountains with a group of friends.

We specialize in organizing custom trips for groups, friends, and families. Give us a call at
800-642-5389 to plan a one-of-a-kind hut trip in the majestic San Juan's this winter!

2012/2013 Hut Trip Offerings

Our 2012 - 2013 hut trips are offered on a private basis only. We can arrange hut trips for both private individuals (1:1 guiding) or groups of 10 and everything in between. We include all the bells and whistles such as gourmet food and meals, to lessen the amount of pre-trip preparation that's required by you. Give us a call to set up your own custom hut skiing trip!
