FIRST TRACKS! Be the first on the hill, well before the lifts open to enjoy the fresh snow with no one else in sight. Meet your guide no less than one hour before the mountain opens and enjoy a private guided tour on the slopes. Whether you find fresh courdory on a bright, blue sky morning or a sick powder day, floating down untouched runs, this will be one of the highlights of your visit. Space is limited and goes quickly because this opportunity is complimentary with your lift ticket so reserve today!

POWDER TOURS
Love Powder? Take a POWDER TOUR. Luxury snowcats take you to prime untracked stashes on the backside of Aspen Mountain. Fresh tracks guaranteed and gourmet lunch is included.
Enjoy no lift lines, no crowds, just the exhilaration of skiing some of the Rocky Mountains' finest powder snow in a spectacular setting. Two guides and a driver lead each 12 person snowcat group, selecting terrain according to daily snow conditions and the group's experience. Snowboards are welcome on Aspen Mountain Powder Tours.
Powder Tours meet at 8:15 a.m. in the lower level of the Silver Queen Gondola Building at the base of Aspen Mountain. After a short gondola ride to the summit, groups are given an orientation with guides before heading out for backcountry skiing and riding. A hearty lunch is served in a cozy wood-stove heated cabin set in the heart of the picturesque Elk Mountains. Snacks and drinks are provided on board the cat throughout the day. Normal ski/board clothing is fine. There is space on the snowcat for extra items, such as, cameras, hats, gloves, and goggles.
Powder Tours are on a reservations-only basis and require a credit card number to hold the booking. For reservations visit the Powder Tours desk in the gondola building, call 970-920-0720 or 800-525-6200, ext. 3720 or contact us via email. Cancellation policies apply, please inquire.
