Uniting the Colorado Backcountry Community for Stronger Connections
Bridging the Gaps in the Backcountry Scene
The Colorado backcountry is filled with potential, but it’s often fragmented, exclusive, and silent about the real risks involved. Backcountry Bonds is here to change that. Whether you’re into touring, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing, we aim to bring people together to create a more connected, informed, and supportive backcountry community.
Opening the lines of communication
In the backcountry, communication can be a matter of life and death. Concerns often go unspoken—whether due to a desire to keep the vibe positive or a reluctance to question the objective. This silence can have serious, even fatal, consequences. We want to shift that culture by empowering everyone to voice their concerns and share information, fostering a group dynamic rooted in trust and adaptability.
