from turns-all-year.comThe backcountry is beckoning… It’s almost that time of year, and if you’re in Colorado, it’s been that time of year for at least a month. Snow keeps getting dumped on the Rockies. My recent jaunt up and over the continental divide and the ski tracks I’ve come across tell me the backcountry season is already in full swing. Here’s the best spots to get informed on everything you need to know about heading out into the backcountry and staying safe, warm and adrenalized while you’re at it:
