Having run a family owned hunting outfitter, jumping into the ski and ride hospitality business seems to be an easy addition. \u201cI am a fifth generation Grand County ranch owner who grew up exploring the Fraser Valley. A rural upbringing in a resort town exposed me to diverse pursuits which built core beliefs, solid work ethic and hands on skills.\u00a0 A hunger to explore different cultures, mindsets and terrain took me abroad, where I experienced new hemispheres and ways of thinking and dreaming. As an active entrepreneur, life long snowboarder and volunteer firefighter, this recent acquisition has been a lifelong dream and I am dedicated to making outdoor recreation of this caliber safely attainable.\u201d ~Ehren<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The high altitude combined with good Northern exposure keeps our snow cold and light. Operating in the Jones Pass area with an operating permit of 2,600 acres, we have the powder, vertical and adventure for an epic powder experience. Our operations run seven days a week and one of the closest snowcat tours located just 45 minutes from Denver. Better yet, our operations run in the last town before heading up to Winter Park Resort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
