I am looking for a BC partner for this winter. I just moved here from Alaska over the summer, but have taken Avy 1 up in Alaska and have all the necessary gear. I took Avy 1 two years ago and have approximately 25 days in the BC after taking the class, but none in the last year due to an ACL tear.

I'm always up for meeting new touring buddies. I'm a 28 y/o male, based out of Evergreen. I have my AIARE 2, Companion Rescue, and WFA. I'm a Splitboarder who likes moving at an average pace - not skimo fast, but not snowshoe slow. I usually like to keep it mellow and low-angle in winter, then get after it on the bigger objectives later in the spring (Pretty low risk acceptance when it comes to avy stuff).

Also, check out the Facebook Group "Colorado Backcountry Ski & Snowboard"... lots of good like-minded folks there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/COBackcountry/

27 y/o M, I live in Grand Junction and am always looking for new touring and/or ski mountaineering partners. I have my AIARE 1 and prefer to keep things very conservative in the winter. Always down to get onto the steeper stuff when things solidify in spring. Seems like there's not a lot of skiers around these parts so if you're on the western slope (or want to meet in the middle somewhere, Vail pass etc.) hit me up! Free on weekends.

I also live in Grand Junction. 28 y/o male with Avy 1. Looking to do some bigger things in the Spring but as mentioned, I try and keep it mellow mid-winter. Available weekends, and mid-week with a few days notice.

Headed to Lake City zone to ski Wednesday-Friday. Wouldn’t mind some solid company. Here’s my tentative plan:

1)Wetterhorn East face on Wednesday: looks sunny and windy from the west, but not getting warm really. Start hiking by 5am
2) Sunshine and Redcloud on Thursday hopefully east slopes but see what else is filled in. Weather looks $ but could get too warm. Start hiking by 5am.
3) Handies east face on Friday. Another sunny day but maybe some breeze to help fight off the warming. Start hiking at 5:00 am.

Night temps look good. Thursday night only 26 though.

If ya wanna check my background I go by kya.cav on Instagram and Mark Cavaliero on da Facebook.

Hello!
I am new to this website and also know that this is an old string of messages but I just moved to Grand Junction and am looking for backcountry partners.
Definitely willing to drive to meet up with folks/ get to better terrain, but also stoked to go tour up on the Mesa. Would love to get to know some people who would want to get after some bigger objectives in the spring when the snowpack settles.
I’m 27, been backcountry skiing for several years, have multi-day bigger trip experience, have avi rescue training, about to take my wfr. Definitely not one to take unnecessary risk in the winter but like to get a good amount of vert when touring even if it’s just doing tree laps!

I’m also looking for a touring partner. I’m AIRE 1 certified and have a ski touring full setup. Also want to keep it low angle in the winter months. I live in Morrison and would love to explore the 285 corridor and Guenella Pass area. Also up for summit county and vail regions.

I’m based in Golden with a full setup, avy gear, and AIARE 1. Are you still looking for a partner?

Yes, I’m still looking for a partner. I’d be interested in getting out for a tour in the next couple weeks.
