Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the guided backcountry skiing tour in Telluride? Is there a gear checklist?

A: Great question! For backcountry skiing, layering is key. You’ll want a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating mid-layer like a fleece, and a waterproof outer layer to keep the snow out. Don’t forget insulated gloves, a warm hat, and goggles. Also, bring good ski socks and a small backpack for your snacks and water. Mountain Trip usually provides a detailed gear checklist when you book, so you won't miss anything essential!

Q: Are there age limits for this experience? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join, but Mountain Trip suggests that participants should be at least 12 years old to ensure they can handle the physical demands of backcountry skiing. It's a fantastic way to introduce them to skiing! Just make sure they have some previous skiing experience and are comfortable on blue runs.

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the experience? Can we reschedule?

A: Definitely! Weather can be unpredictable in the mountains. Mountain Trip has a good cancellation policy. If the conditions are unsafe, they’ll offer you a chance to reschedule for another day, or they might let you use the experience towards a different activity. Just make sure to check their policy when you book!

Thinking of gifting backcountry skiing in Telluride! Anyone been?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about getting a guided backcountry skiing experience in Telluride for my boyfriend’s birthday. He’s a decent skier but has never tried backcountry. I want to make sure it’s a good fit for him. How was your experience? Any tips?

Anyone else excited for backcountry skiing this season?

Just booked a guided backcountry skiing experience in Telluride! Can't wait to hit those powder-filled glades. I’ve been skiing for years, but this is my first time in the backcountry. What can I expect?
