San Juan Mountains is as rugged and rewarding as it gets- steep couloirs, wide alpine bowls, and deep tree stashes all packed into one of the most dramatic ranges in the Rockies. The snowpack can be tricky, but when conditions line up, the skiing is phenomenal, with big vertical and wild terrain to explore. What really sets the San Juans apart is the full service hut system: tucked away mountain lodges where you can ski tour all day, then come back to a warm fire, hearty meals, and a bed instead of a sleeping bag. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and comfort, making multi day backcountry trips feel both epic and welcoming.
