Denver/Summit Co. Based Companies and Riders

I'm planning on moving out to either SLC or the Denver/Summit county area for next season. It seems to me that the Salt Lake area has a lot more exposure and bases more companies (Causewell, 4FRNT, Saga, etc) than Denver. I've been really into the Grizzly Gulch area and the backcountry scene of SLC that seems to be huge for skiers there, but I haven't seen that much footage or exposure from Denver. I was wondering what the backcountry scene was like in the Denver area, and if there are any crews that regularly build kickers and sled around and whatnot. Seems like a sick area at Eagle and Summit counties and I'm trying to see what riders have been killing it.

Hilarious to even doubt Denver; more mountains, better vibe, tons of companies. Icelandic, Liberty, Spyder, Never summer, RMU, Fatypus, it goes on....

Denver is a sick city to live in. There is large backcountry scene in colo, maybe not as much in summit, but down south in Crested Butte, Silverton, etc.
