Bluebird Backcountry is an inbounds backcountry ski area designed for learning and adventure in Kremmling, Colorado. We’ve combined the best elements of ski areas, guide services, and the true backcountry. People love Bluebird for its great ski-patrolled terrain, backcountry rentals and lessons, lodge and warming hut — and most of all our super welcoming vibe.
Bluebird Backcountry has zero chairlifts. Instead, skiers and snowboarders make their way uphill under their own power following pre-set skin tracks. Instructors and guides are on hand for backcountry and avalanche education. And then there’s the fun part: ripping skins and skiing or riding back to the base.
Vanlifers rejoice! Most ski areas don’t let you camp in their parking lots overnight…but Bluebird isn’t like most ski areas. We allow overnight parking and camping with access to our portable restrooms. Camping costs $25/night per vehicle. Temperatures can get very cold at night, so we recommend four-season campers.
