Many mountain ranges don’t have a year-round maintained road passing through them, but the San Juan Range from Durango, through Silverton, to Ouray has three passes. Highway 550 brings powder-hounds through some of Colorado’s most rugged and diverse ski terrain. Silverton Mountain, at the heart of the San Juans, boasts an annual snowfall of 400 inches.
Backcountry Skiing: Silverton offers all the necessary information for skiing the best backcountry spots in the area in a portable book that is extremely durable and lightweight.
“I have found your products to be extremely useful in my own tour planning, dusting cobwebs off terrain early season and assisting in avalanche education courses I teach throughout the winter in Crested Butte and San Juan’s.” -Ian Havlick, Irwin Guides
