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.

    Powder Cowboy Catskiing guests have three choices. If coming from the USA and looking for reasonable flights, you might want to consider Kalispell, Montana. From the airport, you will reach Powder Cowboy in approximately 2 ½ hours by car. The closest major centre is Calgary, Alberta 4 ½ hours away. The beautiful drive south through the foothills of the Canadian Rockies is well worth the trip. If road travel is not your thing, then consider flying all the way to Cranbrook in British Columbia. Only 45 minutes from Powder Cowboy, it is the preferred choice for some. You can get to Cranbrook by connecting through either Calgary or Vancouver airports. Please visit our directions and map page for additional information.
