Just don’t ski down the skin track. Rumor is people hate that...

CAIC is a good place to start. And sign up for an Avy 1 course this season.

When does the BC season end?  Looking at spending late spring/early summer in CO and wondering if it’s worth bringing my skis.

You can find good snow well into May and June.

Now is not a great time to learn to backcountry ski or snowboard. Please be courteous and understand local etiquette before choosing to use backcountry areas that are currently being pushed beyond capacity.

Berthoud Pass is a good place to get into backcountry skiing, but I would avoid using the warming hut. Warm up in your car instead.
