Yes we are in a pandemic and COVID-19 will be around for a while. www.ColoradoMountAinactivities.com and www.ActivitiesinColorado.com work with a number of activity providers ( outfitters) and they have put in place all the necessary safety measures to ensure you a safe and enjoyable experience. These activities include whitewater rafting from relaxing class one float trips to exciting class five rapids for the experienced.

Fitness conditioning for mountaineering becomes an even greater focus for me as winter gains momentum and the snow continues to fly. In preparation for a winter of guiding backcountry ski touring and mountaineering, as well as leading avalanche education courses, i think about what is most important at this stage of the game – if I’ve kept up with strength training, it’s cardio and core.

Planning a vacation in Colorado this winter? The Colorado Rockies offer many options of where to stay, including areas such as Breckenridge , Copper Mountain, Keystone, Vail. Winter Park, Aspen, Steamboat, Crested Butte, Telluride, Durango, all great ski resorts, Then there are Colorado mountain towns like Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne, Estes Park, Buena Vista ,Grand Lake, Glenwood Springs, etc.

The whitewater rafting season has been outstanding here in the Vail valley and across Colorado, and we’d like to introduce you to another one of our favorite rivers.

In case you missed our previous featured river, go back and check out our profile on the Eagle River, which offers some of Colorado’s best seasonal rafting from Vail, down through Avon and Beaver Creek.
