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.

    This zone of the western slope of B.C.'s Rocky Mountains is a powder-making machine! The typical snowfall in our area is 900-1,200 cm (30-40 feet) per winter season. This results in a snow-pack of 300-400 cm depth in most of the valleys for most of the season. Powder Cowboy Catskiing is located where the moist storms from the Pacific Ocean collide with the cooler Arctic air from northern Alberta. The result is consistent, deep dry powder from December to April which provides the ultimate experience to skiers interested in Canadian powder skiing.
