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.

    What is the winter temperature in the Rockies?

    Typical winter temperatures are usually -5º C to -15º C (23º to 5º Fahrenheit), but in mid-winter they can drop as low as -25º C (13º below Fahrenheit). These lower temperatures are what give us the super light, dry Rocky Mountains powder - the best powder skiing in BC. Our typically lower humidity makes the temperature feel slightly higher than the same level at higher humidity.
