Colorado Winter
Adventure Team's Favorite Winter Sports
Ski and Snowboard We love to hit the slopes and enjoy the resort but this is about the backcountry. Silverton has our favorite extreme ski area but a pair of snowshoes and a sense of adventure will put you in the backcountry. This is for the experienced only. Be safe and beware of avalanche areas.
Ice Climbing
Snowshoe and X-Country Ski This is our favorite way to access the backcountry and get some excercise. Gear is minimal and the technique is simple. There is nothing like getting warm by exercising the legs outside on a cold day.
Snowmobiles Driving a snowmobile through fresh powder feels like riding something between land and water. There are miles and miles of groomed trails across the state and you can cover some ground on a sled. Come see the mountains in style and hit the throttle!

When winter hits and the rock climbing season ends we go looking for ice. Our favorite ice parks are in Ouray and Lake City but there are many options. Some places make their own ice but you can find some good climbing areas by scouting waterfalls and springs located above rock in the summer. Find an adventurous partner and hit the ice. Don't forget your crampons!
