Itinerary

Lift served backcountry skiing day - A snapshot of your adventure-
*If time allows, meet your guide the evening before, at the shop at the base of Aspen Highlands.

* Your day's adventure begins at 8:30 AM where your guide will have an orientation and quick talk on avalanche awareness. You'll gear up with an avalanche beacon and shovel, AT ski gear & day pack. You'll receive instructions on the use of the gear.

* At 9:00 you're on your way. You'll ascend the lifts of Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, or Snowmass to gain altitude. After a short hike and depending on your location and conditions, you'll ski up to 4,000 ft. (1000 - 1500 m) of untracked powder that the Aspen area mountains are famous for. And, depending on the groups energy and excitement, you can do it again and again!

* You'll lunch on the trail or at any of the slope side restaurants.
