The skimo season has come and gone, and just like that we’re in full summer mode! I hope you’ve been getting out for some Spring (and Summer) skiing.

Although the snow pack was terrific, the wet weather patterns we had earlier in the season made finding the right conditions tricky.

My most memorable outing has got to be skiing the North Star Couloir in the Indian Peaks and a day out on the Blue Lake drainage at Brainard.

Skiing untracked powder is what every skier is always searching for. It’s difficult for all the stars to align, but when they do, it makes for a magical experience that keeps us hungry for more.

In this fifth episode of my Ski Touring Video Series for La Sportiva, I head deep into the Colorado backcountry with a fun crew in search of deep fresh snow, fun ski lines, stable snowpack, and memorable experiences.

Learn some of my tips for safely enjoying your own backcountry skiing adventure, and give it a like or a comment if you found it useful!
