Beginning today, skiers, snowboarders, and splitboarders can buy day passes, reserve lessons, and rent gear at Colorado’s first ‘in-bounds backcountry’ ski area.
Following a wildly successful Kickstarter and a 2-week test launch at the beginning of 2020, Bluebird Backcountry debuts for its first full season of (socially distanced) resort-style backcountry skiing.
Starting today, backcountry enthusiasts (and those eager to try it) can reserve day passes, sign up for lessons, and secure rental gear. This comes as welcome news, as all of Bluebird’s 500 season passes and AIARE avalanche courses sold out when they were announced in September.
Bluebird Backcountry Day Passes
- Day passes ($50): These grant access to all 1,200 “in-bounds” acres (Bluebird also has an additional 1,800 acres, accessible with a guide).
- 4-packs ($185) and 10-packs ($425): These have no blackout dates and 100% transferable.
- Bluebird+ Membership ($250): For backcountry newbies, Bluebird+ includes three lessons, daily clinics, and ski-with-a-mentor days. It also gets you a 10% discount on AIARE or AIARE Avalanche Rescue courses, $100 off a guided day or private lesson, and more. Bluebird+ can also be purchased with 4-pack and 10-pack passes.
