Relax in the solitude of a private mountain hut after a day of exploring pristine skiing terrain

Ski the classic Elk Mountains Traverse from Aspen to Crested Butte, spending the night at two different huts along the way, and exploring all of the ski terrain that they have to offer.  Or choose a 1-3 night trip here in Crested Butte’s backyard ski terrain.

Either way, Irwin Guides backcountry hut trips are private and custom to you.  Let us tailor the trip to the group’s desires and ability levels.
