Looking for good beginner mountains in Rockies

My boyfriend an I are avid climbers, backcountry campers and hikers and possess army training, specializing in northern operations. Im saying all this in order to provide a good scope of our skills.

We would love to get into mountaineering. However, we are from Winnipeg, in the prairies! (This place sucks!). Given our skill set, I think we can shorten and steepen our learning curve. What I really need help with is finding good, challenging peaks for 1,2 and 3 day hikes. Also, I'm having a really hard time determining when to go, so if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very thankful.

If there are any other tips I should know or good online resources to check out, please let me know!

Thanks in advance.

IMO winter in the northern Rockies is not the time to be learning alpine climbing. I'd wait till mid-spring and I would also start off on less challenging climbs. Your going to have more fun the more confident you are that the climb is within your abilities and you decrease your chances of turning a good day into a shit show that has potentially fatal consequences. Start with what you know you can handle then progress.

I'm gonna second that.
