So I finally pulled the trigger on a touring setup, and am trying to ski every month this year. I wanted to see if any of y'all had suggestions for summer lines in CO. I know I will probably be stuck with St. Mary's very late in the season, but want to see what other people have skied. I'm living in Fort Collins so Front Range is ideal, but am open to anything. If anyone knows of some spots in Indian Peaks, I'm heading there this weekend and would love some recommendations.

Cheers.
 
skiing every month of the year is awesome, definitely one of my best skiing memories. I did it for two years straight while living in crested butte. i know that is a long way from ft collins, but if you are ever down that way, there are some spots that you can pretty much drive to in the summer. you can drive to the top on the continental divide on schofield pass up slate river road and ski up there all summer. i skied up there yesterday and there is still a ton of snow left.

Awesome! I'm planning a trip to CB this summer anyways so looks like I'll be bringing the skis. Thanks!
 
Bummed I didn't see this sooner!! BUT, for future reference-

From Fort Collins you can grab snow up on Cameron Pass with ease until the first week or two in July, but it's nothing too spectacular. Independence Pass typically lasts until the last week or two in July, I was able to ski it on the 15th I think, but it wasn't much. Other than that there's the Fourth of July Bowl which is a total party, and has a significant amount of snow that is much more considerably shredable as opposed to seeking stuff on passes here and there.
