Cerro Summit

Cerro Summit is an abandoned ski area located in Colorado's high country, now primarily of historical interest to backcountry enthusiasts and ski mountaineers. The site once operated as a modest regional ski resort but has since been decommissioned, leaving behind infrastructure remnants and access points to surrounding alpine terrain. Today, the location serves as a staging area for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing expeditions into the San Juan Mountains, offering access to untracked powder and remote high-altitude bowls for experienced winter adventurers. Summer visitors can explore the area via hiking and mountain biking, accessing meadows and ridgelines with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.
