Terrain for all Ski Levels
Take Your Pick! Chutes, Bowls, Glades or Tree Line skiing for the backcountry enthusiast at The Boulder Hut.
Good fitness and general competence on skis or a split snowboard are all you need to enjoy our varied terrain. The backcountry skiing experience can be extreme, but your skill level doesn’t have to be to join us at Boulder Hut Adventures. We provide backcountry skiing for all ski abilities. You get to choose your challenge level when climbing couloirs, skiing the steeps and alpine bowls, or cruising the glades for the day. We accommodate and welcome newcomers to the backcountry as well as well-versed keeners. We feature diverse day tours close to the lodge and epic trips for the seasoned enthusiast.

We group similar skill levels for each ski week. We operate with two certified guides for a group of 12 leaving us the flexibility to split the group for different objectives if necessary. Our professional guides present the backcountry ski opportunities to push you as far as you want to go!
