Backcountry Skiing
If in-bounds skiing isn’t enough, the Golden area offers some of the best backcountry skiing you could wish for. For those with the skills and experience, the “slack-country” is a short hike from the top of the ski resort boundary offering pristine powder for those with the desire to explore the big alpine lines. Roger’s Pass and it’s renowned back country terrain is only an hour’s drive west of Golden.
Please remember that outside resort boundaries, backcountry experience and equipment are essential. Check out Hangfire Training for their avalanche skills courses.
Snowmobiling
Golden is renowned for its snowmobiling due to the wide range of riding terrain available, the deep snowfalls of champagne powder, and the spectacular scenery. Bring your own sleds or book a mountain tour with the local snowmobile tour operator.
For those guests bringing their own sleds, there is plenty of parking at Mount 7 Lodges.
