Events Description
Put your snowshoes on and walk with into a white powder paradise where there are no trails and it’s simply miles and miles of powdery wilderness in front of you. You’ll access the beautiful winter backcountry with a professional guide the way the Rockies are meant to be experienced – as a mix of fun, challenge, and learning, combined with the simple enjoyment of being outside in nature.
