Specializing in custom itineraries, we tailor every trip to your unique needs, from your experience level to group size and mountain comfort.
Cross-country Ski Tours
Indulge yourself in winter’s beauty on ‘skinny skis’ of our cross-country ski tours. Routes are predominantly level terrain winding through forests and small canyons along the Eagle River and tributary creeks.
Historic Camp Hale is a primary destination for many of our cross-country ski tours. Learn the history of the 10th Mountain Division Mountain Troops in WWII while you glide around this recently designated National Monument.

what participants are saying
We have been hunting for the freshest tracks for years on resorts and decided to try the Backcountry. Henry H. guided us up to the best views and deep fluffy stuff. He knew the area really well and also catered to our fitness level and equipment (my split board was a bit slower). Henry’s knowledge and tips were very helpful. He also shared some cool details and stories about the area. Our first time in the backcountry was perfect, thanks Henry. We will be back!!
