DescriptionVista Verde is a high end guest ranch with a focus on Cross country and backcountry skiing in the winter. The ranch amenities are offered just to guests staying overnight. We enjoy having experienced skiers come explore our surroundings with us, but also specialize in introducing novices to the sport. In particular, our backcountry tours tend to be the most popular.
