If you found this page you’re in luck because it means you enjoy outdoor activities and most importantly you like to ski powder and you don’t like skiing in crowds or lift lines.
C Lazy U Ranch is set to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime backcountry skiing experience where you get to enjoy our secret stash of private powder.
Tell Me About the Skiing
Our backcountry powder is hidden within the world-renowned C Lazy U Ranch. The ranch is 8,500 acres but the skiable backcountry terrain comprises an approximately 700 acres of Mt. Baldy and the connector ridge between it and Windy Point. The majority of the terrain is sun-protected north-facing slopes that hold snow well and more importantly, keep it cool and free powder for days and weeks.
There is a small contingent of avid backcountry skiers on ranch, A.K.A. the ranch’s amazing activity guides, managers and employees.
We love to enjoy the ranch’s private powder when off duty and these two events are so we can share this amazing experience with like-minded outdoor enthusiasts – but also elevate it with professional backcountry guides for safety and a learning environment. These events are limited to 16 people total and we do not want them to be big events so we can ensure a proper guide to skier/boarder ratio. All skiing is done within a controlled environment on C Lazy U Ranch terrain.
Who Are Your Guides?
Your guides embody the essence of outdoor adventure and they all have passion for skiing backcountry lines.
Each guide has a different love and passion for the outdoors and includes men and women, snowboarders and skiers. Collectively the team has extensive backcountry experience.
So How Do I Qualify If I Want To Attend?
It’s simple:
- We recommend some basic knowledge and experience associated with off-piste and/or backcountry skiing. There is intermediate and expert terrain and there are no groomed runs except for groomed access in and out of certain areas for ease of touring.
- You should have to have a level of fitness that is suitable for hiking or skiing at or above 8,000 feet above sea level.

Winter Horseback Riding: What to Expect
- No horseback riding on check-in and check-out days.
- Winter rides are walk-only for the safety of both horses and guests.
- Winter horseback riding trails are more limited due to the winter snow and are maintained by the horses consistently walking them to keep the trails packed and usable. Because of this, the ranch designates trails for winter riding that are closer to the main ranch compound, and with the winter elements these are typically shorter loops. If you want to explore more of the ranch’s 8500+ acres in the winter you may wish to consider a snowmobile tour or a visit during our warmer months where all the trails are open.
