Skiing Apache Peak, The Queens Way // Indian Peaks Wilderness

Today I'm on a ski mountaineering adventure in one of my favorite places in Colorado's Front Range, the stunning Indian Peaks Wilderness.

My objective was a classic line, The Queens Way on Apache Peak. The spring corn skiing was fantastic, but I made the call to turn around just before the summit as the snow began warming up.

It was still an incredible day in the high alpine with breathtaking views. If you enjoy backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering videos, please consider subscribing!
