Combining the legendary powder of Canada's Rocky
Mountains and the western culture of the Columbia Valley, Powder Cowboy
Catskiing is truly a unique experience! Whether you're skiing or
boarding, the 8-14 daily runs will quickly become your most memorable.
As the day ends, you'll have 10,000 to 14,000 vertical feet of bowls,
open slopes and awesome tree skiing under your belt with the longest
run stretching 2,500 vertical feet. You have the option to book three
or four day tours from mid December to the end of March. Guests
visiting Powder Cowboy Catskiing should be intermediate to advanced
skiers and boarders in good physical condition. There are 12 guests and
2 guides per snowcat and only 2 snowcats' - that's 6000 acres of powder
for only 2 dozen people. Saddle up and hold on!
Terrain
With 3,500 acres of new terrain, Powder Cowboy Catskiing now boasts
6,000 acres of awesome terrain, equaling the size of many North
American ski resorts (imagine Whistler or Aspen with 2 feet of fresh
powder open only for you and 23 friends). The Lizard range of the
Canadian Rocky Mountains is legendary for deep dry snow; with an
average of 350 inches of snow annually, it's a powder playground for
skiers and boarders alike. The mountains and alpine bowls provide
stunning open slopes, amazing rolling pitches and perfectly positioned
trees for some of the best naturally gladed tree skiing in the BC
Rockies.
Come and experience the powder of the Canadian Rockies at Powder Cowboy Catskiing.
