Spring Skiing in the San Juan Mountains
Spring skiing in the San Juans isn't all show-boating on big lines in perfect snow. While it is quite exhilarating when your tracks can clearly be seen from the highway and enjoyed by all, sometimes unflattering conditions like dirty snow, ice runnels, and football fields of frozen avalanche debris can be worth the effort. Throw in a remote mountain most skiers have never heard of, a low probability of reaching the summit, a train, a couple of packrafts, and just like that, you have a top-quality spring skiing adventure like never before.
