Hunting Through the Snow

Preparing for Cold Weather in Colorado
Colorado winters are stunning — the mountains transform into a winter wonderland, and fresh snow blankets the valleys in pristine white. At Mountain View Adventures, we embrace the challenge of hunting in snow and cold weather, helping hunters prepare to enjoy the hunt even after a fresh snowstorm.
The Beauty After a Snowstorm
There’s nothing quite like the morning after a Colorado snowstorm. The sun shines off freshly fallen snow, the mountains sparkle, and the crisp air invigorates every step. Hiking through 8 inches of snow might be challenging, but the views and the solitude of the wilderness make it an unforgettable hunting experience.
Every snow-covered ridge and valley becomes a canvas for adventure. Tracks of elk, deer, and other wildlife are easier to spot, giving hunters a unique advantage and creating a truly magical backdrop for the hunt.
Gear Up for Cold Weather
Hunting in snow and cold weather requires preparation. At Mountain View Adventures, we make sure our hunters are ready for any conditions:
Layering: Moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and waterproof outer layers keep hunters warm and dry.
Footwear: Waterproof boots with traction make trekking through snow safer and more comfortable.
Accessories: Hats, gloves, and hand warmers keep extremities warm during long hours in the field.
Being properly equipped ensures that hunters can focus on the hunt, rather than the cold.
Strategies for Snow Hunts
Hunting after a snowstorm changes the dynamics of the hunt. Snow makes elk easier to track, but it also requires careful movement. Our guides teach hunters how to read tracks, anticipate elk movement, and approach the herd quietly — even in deep snow.
A sunny day after fresh snow is one of the best times to hunt. The elk are moving, visibility is high, and every step through the winter landscape adds to the adventure.
The Reward of Persistence
Hunting in snow and cold weather can be challenging, but the payoff is enormous. From the thrill of spotting a bull against a snow-covered ridge to the satisfaction of harvesting your elk in stunning winter conditions, every effort is rewarded.
The mountains are quiet, the scenery is breathtaking, and the experience is humbling. These are the hunts that create stories you’ll remember forever.
