Jones Pass Guides Colorado

Jones Pass Guides in Colorado offers cat skiing and guided backcountry touring, located at Jones Pass, not far from Denver and Winter Park, and within easy driving distance of various other Colorado ski resorts.

Snorting white powder is the most addictive recreational activity that exists. Don’t try and fight the powder addiction though, just go with the flow. Go cat skiing or backcountry touring, enjoy lots of face shots, and inhale all the powder you want. And the best way to feed your addiction is just to go and do it all again!

Backcountry Skiing and Snowboarding Packages

The Jones Pass cat skiing day trips include guiding, demo powder skis, safety equipment, lunch and après ski beers, and photographic services are on offer for an additional fee. You can book a private snowcat for up to 12 guests, or join a group as a solo traveller or small group.

Or if you want to earn your turns, the Jones Pass Guides backcountry touring day trips include a professional guide, and you’ll need to provide your own ski touring/split boarding equipment along with a beacon, shovel and probe.

The guide to guest ratio is 1:4 for the Jones Pass cat skiing, and anywhere from 1:1 to 1:5 for the backcountry touring.

Where is Jones Pass Guides Cat Skiing?

The cat skiing is located in the Jones Pass Area and the trail head meeting spot is 9 miles from Empire Colorado on US40 just 49 miles east of downtown Denver. The trailhead is 16.5 miles south of Winter Park Resort. Loveland Ski Area is 26 miles by road to the southwest.

Snow & Cat Skiing Terrain

The region is renowned for abundant snowfalls and the quality of the snow is typically dry, cold powder thanks to high altitudes ranging from 10,500’ to 12,500’ (3,200 – 3,810m) and plenty of north facing slopes.

Jones Pass Guides operates in the Jones Pass area with an operating permit of 2,600 acres (1,052 hectares). There is plenty of terrain variety including high alpine bowls of varying pitch, gladed meadows, rock bands, and wide chutes.

For the snowcat skiing, an average day consists of 8-12 runs with about 10,500 to 12,500 feet of vertical depending on the group speed and weather and snow conditions.

6 to Ride Rule

On any given day we must have 6 seats sold to guarantee the trip will go. We will take reservations for less than 6 and then try to fill the day but cannot promise it will go.

Payment & Cancellation & Refund Policy

At the time of booking we require a 100% deposit. If you cancel your reservation outside of 72-hours you will forfeit 50% of the deposit. If you cancel within 72-hours, you will lose the entire trip cost. We are reserving seats on our snowcats for you and your group; thus, we are now turning away potential guests.

Jones Pass Guides is not responsible for other travel costs. We recommend interrupted travel insurance where it is available. If you have to cancel and can find someone else who will just pay you the monies owed, we will allow for this as long as your replacement comes on the day of your reservation. If we have to refund and then take a new payment, we will do this for a 10% cancellation/transaction fee.

We are passionate about sharing our love of the backcountry, safely with our guests. If for some reason we have to cancel due to lack of snow or mechanical failure, road closures or high avalanche hazard prior to your trip date, then we will credit your money to another trip in season based on availability or the following season without any administration fee. If you’d like a refund immediately then we will do so minus a 10% administrative fee. Additionally, under these circumstances, your reservations are 100% transferrable to a 3rd party. Jones Pass Guides does not provide refunds for a client’s inability to arrive on time or for health-related issues or cancellations due to family emergencies or injuries. Jones Pass Guides reserves the right to cancel a package at any time and full refunds will be given. Jones Pass Guides cannot be held responsible for a client’s personal inconvenience or travel expenses.

Please do us all a favor and make sure you review the email confirmation that our system will generate and send to you. Double check the date and number of guests for that day as well as all of our policies and information. There is no way that you can move forward with a reservation at Jones Pass Guides without having read or had a staff member talk about these policies. Our cancellation policies will play into non-refundable payments and you or your group will not be getting a refunded or credited any amount of money in return.

Jones Pass Cat Skiing

Scott Renwick

After ten fantastic days skiing at Steamboat Springs, including a great day with Steamboat Powdercats, this was our final ski day before the long flight back to Oz.

We have experienced some awesome skiing around the world for over forty years, including Val de Mesdi in Italy and many other challenging locations on four continents. This extensive experience has included back and side country, cat-skiing and heli-skiing.

The day we spent with Jones Pass Guides was definately right up there as one of the best days skiing we have enjoyed. Highly proficient and knowledgeable guides, modern well-eqipped cat, good company, great powder and varied terrain made the day truely epic.

If I ever get back to Colorado in winter, then I'll be wanting to spend more days with Jones Road guides.
