- Over the years many people have wondered at how I ski in Rocky Mountain National Park since there aren't any chairlifts. They had all sorts of ideas about how it worked or what it is like, so in this video I lift the veil on this enjoyable and challenging winter activity.

NOTES:
🎥 All filming in Rocky Mountain National Park was done with a commercial filming license obtained through the National Park Service.
We were at Hidden Valley Friday snowshoeing and discussed how much fun the people on skis were having. We wondered what was involved. When we got home, a quick search brought up your video. Perfect timing, and the video is spot on. I now know what I don't know. Since we neither one have skied, snowshoeing it is for now. But we know where to start. Thank you for all of your well developed videos.
So glad I was able to answer your questions about backcountry skiing. It is a lot of fun, but as you saw, there is a lot to it.
That looks like so much fun!
It certainly is.
Very informative and excellent presentation!
Learned many things!
Great to hear! Thanks!
Well done!! And nice turns!
Thanks Paul. Hope your travels are going well. Holler when things slow down.
Very informative.
Glad you think so!
Not a skier but enjoyed the info and the wonderful snowy video.
Thanks 👍
I skied down from that bus in high school 😅
I’m jealous. We have to do it the hard way these days.
