Backcountry Skiing Routes
This page lists several areas for good backcountry skiing. Before you head into the backcountry, be sure to check out the page on avalanche safety for backcountry travelers.
Loveland Pass
This page covers all of the backcountry skiing in the Loveland Pass area. This includes Loveland Pass and the ridge line from the pass to Arapahoe Basin which has some of the steepest skiing in Summit County.
Berthoud Pass
Berthoud Pass can be found on rt. 40 just to the south of the Winter Park ski resort. This is the former site of the Berthoud Pass Ski Area; the chairlifts have been torn down but the great skiing remains.
