Frequently Asked Catski Questions

What is catskiing? We access backcountry terrain with snowcats in order to ski or board untracked snow. A snowcat is a large vehicle with tracks (resorts use them to groom runs), we put a large carrier on the back that holds up to 12 people. The inside of the carrier has comfortable seats, a stereo system and enough food and drinks for the day. This is a very comfortable and safe way to experience untracked powder in the backcountry and a "must do" for any skier or snowboader.

    We go Catskiing or boarding! This isn't like heliskiing we don't have down days here partner! If you decide not to ski there are options like horseback riding and the hot-springs or go into town for hockey games, shopping and bars. Skiing/Riding at Powder Cowboy is good to excellent most of the time, but nothing is perfect! Conditions in the mountains can change dramatically overnight. Do not despair if you hear discouraging reports shortly before your trip. It often changes favourably at the snap of a finger.
