Jetboil PCS – the original Jetboil – has sparked a revolution in outdoor cooking. Boiling two cups in two minutes at 75-80% efficiency, the PCS is twice as fast and uses half as much fuel as conventional stoves. The PCS boils up to 50 cups (12 Liters) of water from only one Jetpower isobutane/propane micro-canister. Such outstanding performance results from the patent-pending FluxRing™ heat exchanger, which captures and focuses the burner’s heat.

In wilderness is the preservation of the world. Truer words have never been spoken or written. Thankfully, Steamboat Springs has become surrounded by three wonderfully distinct wilderness areas.
• Mount Zirkel Wilderness
• Flat Tops Wilderness
• Sarvis Creek Wilderness
Mount Zirkel Wilderness lies due north of Steamboat Springs and is classic Colorado alpine terrain. Twelve thousand foot peaks, tundra, high alpine lakes, cascading creeks, big trees, and big country.
It is quite obvious how the Flat Tops Wilderness got named. Broad, flat ridge tops dominate this terrain but don't be fooled. Big climbs and good efforts are still required to reach the tops of these mountains. Once you are on top, the backpacking can be a cruise but be aware, you are exposed up there, so keep an eye on the weather and plan accordingly.
Sarvis Creek Wilderness is unique amoung Colorado's wilderness areas in that it is all below timberline. You will still see and appreciate big views into the Sarvis Creek and Silver drainages but this country is dominated by timber and wildlife.

Nothing is better than spending multiple days out in the wilds backpacking and camping. The only bad thing about day hiking is you have to leave at the end of the day.

There are many keys to good night's sleep when your camping out under the stars. Your sleeping bag is right there at the top of the list. Matching a sleeping bag to your needs is not difficult if you ask yourself a few questions.
• Are you a cold sleeper? Buy a bag that is rated warmer than what you might normally think.
• Will you be backpacking with your bag? A down filled bag may be the ideal choice since down offers the optimum weight to warmth ratio plus down bags compress smaller than synthetic bags.
• Do you toss and turn during the night? A rectangle shaped bag might be best rather than a mummy shape bag. (Note: mummy bags are the most efficient at keeping you warm).
Ski Haus stocks sleeping bags from Big Agnes, The North Face, Sierra Designs, Mountain Hardwear, and Marmot. Here are few of our favorites.
• North Face Superlight
• Big Agnes Lost Ranger
• Marmot Couloir
• Sierra Designs Deja Vu (W)
