Experience the best of winter downhill from a Cat or a 'Copter

When standing in lift lines is simply too mainstream and groomed runs are not quite challenging enough, you'll be thrilled to discover exciting alternatives to reach virtually untouched terrain and take your winter thrills to new heights.

Accessing the infamous Colorado powder is easy when traveling with experienced guides to our famous winter wonderland aboard a powerful snowcat. And skiing off some of the highest helicopter-accessed peaks in the world is arguably the thrill of a lifetime. Several areas across the state offer these unique opportunities to reach untracked powder and new levels of excitement.

Colorado Whitewater Rafting is the ultimate thrill ride.

Adrenaline chasers from all over the world find the ultimate in physical and mental challenge here as they dodge boulders and trees, skillfully maneuver around powerful waves and against strong currents, and forge over hidden holes and sudden drops. Created by snow melt, or run-off, Colorado rivers change in shape and feel each year and offer surprises that can catch even the most experienced paddler off guard.

Join the Mile-High Club - Denver Kayaking

The Denver/Boulder area of Colorado has plenty of spots to get yourself a little high-altitude paddling fun.

Colorado's Denver/Boulder area, on the edge of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, is about as close to nirvana as most of us can get without a spiritual adviser. Within a two-hour drive you'll find everything from whitewater-themed city parks and Class V+ steep creeks to sea kayaking on high mountain lakes, and the cities are dotted with plenty of decent yet inexpensive places to sleep, great restaurants, and a fun night life (of course, this is all assuming that you've any energy left after you get off the water).
