    Hey, I'm a 28 year old ski patroller of 7 years. Avy 2. EMT. Somewhat accomplished mountaineer (So America, Canadian Rockies, Alps, etc)

    I'm not working til August and want to fill my week days with trips. I just want to hike up and ski down, with you. Crazy, mellow, anything. Give me a shout!

    I'm in. I'm a relative newcomer but I want to do some big spring missions and I can keep up. Completely flexible schedule May 13-June 1. We can do a mellow day, if it seems like it'll work out great, if not no worries.

    Have my eye on some lines near Salida. Going to be good for vehicle assist with the low snowpack. Can offer the spare bedroom to facilitate early starts. Looks like Indy pass will open May 21. Leave for Yrup the 23rd but would like to car ski that monday.

    Might end up in Denver for a few days mid-week for skiing during the week of May 28. Uncertain yet, but I'll reach out if it actually happens.

    Weekend mission

    Hey bro,

    Hit me up on getting out. Have the rest of the month off as well as the last two. Love to climb peaks and get up high. Have all the gear and been skiing regularly in the backcountry here in Colorado for 10yrs. Let’s get after it.

    I will be in CO Feb 18-25 solo and would like to get out. I am from New England so don't know the terrain. Avy 1, pretty fit and experienced skier for 45 year old dude. I will not have a car but can pay for gas and sammiches.
    I don't have any plans during that period but would prefer BC to lift served. side country also good (i have an epic pass)
    My time window starts in Beaver Creek and has to end in Denver.
    hopefully something comes up. PMme

    I am working M-Thur. out of Golden for the next few weeks. I would like to meet up with some experienced/knowledgeable partners for backcountry skiing F-Sunday. I am in good shape, have Avy 2, received a 4.0 in the 400 level Snow Accumulation and Dynamics course at Montana State over 10 years ago (for whatever that is worth), and an above average skier.

    New to BC, looking to gain experience.

    Looking for touring partners for any Friday-Sunday. New to BC, but above average snowboarder. I have all the gear, and I’m taking Avy1 in a couple weeks. I’m in decent shape, but burning off some of my quarantine fat still. Live south of Denver, but can meet anywhere. Also looking to get into sled skiing, if anyone is looking for snowmobile partners- plan to buy a sled soon.
