When the snow flies, we continue running. Winters in the Rockies can be long and dark, but that doesn’t stop us from getting out.
All of our custom trail running adventures are available year round. While certain high mountain trails are inaccessible through the winter months due to deep snow and avalanche hazard, many trails remain safe and runnable. Our guides are well versed in preparing for winter conditions and are ready to help you enjoy the Rockies any day of the year.
