Mount Hayden Backcountry Lodge
February 2019 | San Juan Mountains, Colorado
This weekend we had a wonderful stay at Eric Johnson's Mount Hayden Backcountry Lodge. Located in Richmond Basin in a remote corner of the San Juan Mountains between Ouray and Telluride, the lodge is surrounded by a powder playground of skiable terrain. With heaps of fresh snow awaiting us, we were excited to have three days to ski and splitboard to our hearts' content.
It snowed nonstop for the first day and night and on Saturday morning the clouds cleared, unveiling one of the most glorious bluebird days I can remember.
