New to Summit County are two backcountry cabins managed by Sumit Huts Association
that provide backcountry skiers with a unique way to experience the high country.
The Colorado high country in and around Summit County offers both spectacular scenery
and a variety of easy to extremely challenging backcountry skiing. It is strongly
recommended that travellers into the backcountry plan ahead and be prepared as weather
conditions change quickly in the area. Maps, guide books and good advice is
always available from the local mountaineering shops.
