Cripple Creek Backcountry

At Cripple Creek Backcountry we are dedicated to everything backcountry skiing. Our particular passion is going to places that few, if any, people have been to before and doing it fast and light. We are located in Carbondale, Colorado, deep in the heart of the Rockies surrounded by the terrain that keeps us inspired to do what we love. Founded in 2011 we are a new store with a new idea of how to do business; keep it light, keep it tight, and get it done right. Give us a call or E-mail and you have a 100% chance of getting a hold of the owners Doug and Randy. "There was a time years ago when I thought my days of skiing were over. I was tired of being sandwiched between people and mansions on crowded overdeveloped runs, paying $100 for lift tickets. Then I discovered the endless terrain that lay just on the other side of the rope and my love for skiing was stronger than ever. Although, I now understand the training ground that ski resorts provide, I use them for just that. I now spend 90% of my time on skis going up hill getting ready for my next ski mountaineering race or expedition."
