Skiing and splitboarding in Rocky Mountain National Park is usually best between the start of the New Year and early Summer. While it's possible to ride all year round the summmer and fall may be less than enjoyeable.

Rocky Mountain National Park is generally approached from the town of Estes Park which is roughly an hour and a half from Denver International Airport.
With terrain all along the Continental Divide and the remains of an abandoned ski area this is a great location for learning and finding some of the best descents.
| Descent | Descent Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Banana Bowls | With mellow turns and an easy approach this can be a great location for those new to backcountry riding particularly in hazardous avalanche conditions. |
 |
| Sherman Route (WI4, 6 pitches) | Just above the old Sherman townsite this obvious route looms over the valley. Fed by a large avalanche bowl this climb comes in earlier and more reliably than other climbs in the area. When avalanche conditions allow a full ascent to the summit can be a demanding alpine route while a variety of variations on the first pitch can make for a number of topropes before the ice park has opened. |
 |
| Open Casket (WI5, 4 pitches) | A stout climb with a stout approach is reserved for the dedicated ice climber. With a south facing aspect and other variations nearby this is a great area to spend a few days ski touring and climbing deep into winter. |
