Experience the backcountry in a quintessentially Colorado way
With some of the most epic backcountry terrain in the lower 48, there is no better way to experience what the San Juans has to offer than a backcountry hut trip. Get deep in the mountains, cozy up by the fire at night, ski/ride untouched private powder stashes during the day, and eat delicious food with your friends & family. Let our experienced ski/splitboard guides show you just how special a hut trip can be. With multiple hut options to cater to your style and budget, a hut trip with San Juan Expeditions is one of the best ways to experience the San Juans in winter.
