Welcome to Skiboards Travel!
Southwest Colorado: Experience the ultimate getaway!

A special place of see-forever views, jagged
mountain peaks that stretch into the horizon,
wildflower-blessed
meadows, unspoiled forests of pine and aspen teeming
with wildlife and spotted with multitudes of high
alpine lakes and streams. Attracting visitors from
all over the world, this is Colorado at its best,
where losing yourself in the wilderness is as much
a part of daily life as breathing. This is Southwest
Colorado.

Join us in our very own playground. Skiboarding
is truly epic here, whether you choose to go to Taos
Ski Resort to the South, Telluride Ski Resort to
the North, Wolf Creek Ski Resort (most snow in Colorado)
to the East and Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory)
to the west. Southwest Colorado boasts 300 + days
of sunshine every year combined with some of the
best powder conditions in the world.

This is a truly memorable place anytime of year.
National Geographic, Outside Magazine and Skiing
Magazine all have proclaimed the San Juan Mountains
(surrounding Durango to the North, West and East)
to be one of the top 10 destinations for outdoor
adventure. The 2 million acre national forest offers
some of the very best snowmobiling, snow cat skiing,
snowshoeing and backcountry snowriding in the nation.
Take a scenic sleigh ride, ride the historic Durango
Silverton Narrow Gauge Train back in time through
the majestic Rockies or soak in one of our many mountain
stream-fed outdoor hot springs. 
In the summer, experience world class hiking and
mountain biking, thrilling 4 Wheel driving through
Ghost Towns at 13,000 feet, river rafting and kayaking,
take a guided horseback ride through the Rockies
or just get away from it all backpacking along the
Colorado Trail. There is a reason we chose to live
and work here.

The best part is, you get to truly relax and rejuvenate,
play and have a vacation like no other while we handle
the arrangements.

Come renew your spirit and have an adventure like
no other in Southwest Colorado.

Here's what others are saying:
"Simply put, the San Juans are more rugged, wild, and awe inspiring than any other group of mountains in the southern Rockies."
From the San Juan Adventure Guide
By Jeff Frenerre
"Only a few know the real secrets of a Silverton/San Juan County vacation. We have the cleanest air
anywhere in the United States. There are over 500 miles of backcountry routes in the mountains surrounding
Silverton. We offer some of the best hiking, camping, fishing and photographic opportunities in the Rockies"
- Southwest Colorado Travel
"Durangoans love to have a good time, and in winter it seems that folks get even crazier than usual.
Snowdown is a Durango tradition - five days in January of entertainment, costumes, bizarre events
(try the Spam carving contest or the bed races) and plain old small town fun"
GoDurango
"Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the San Juans is their exceedingly high altitude. It is said
than no other mountain range in the United States (outside of Alaska) has a higher average elevation.
There are more than one thousand summits greater than 12,000 feet in the San Juans, with thirteen of
those exceeding 14,000 feet... The Continental Divide runs across the top of the San Juans and the
views are like nowhere else on this planet."
