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.

    Combining the legendary powder of Canada's Rocky Mountains and the Western culture of the Columbia Valley, Powder Cowboy Catskiing is truly an unforgettable Catskiing experience! At Powder Cowboy you'll find a smaller group of skiers, 6 to 12 with a maximum of 24 guests (instead of 36+ at other operations). We have doubled our tenure size to over 6000 acres boasting a wider variety of terrain and aspects than most other operations. Our cats are able to summit a number peaks, opening up incredible vistas, fall line skiing and world class tree skiing.

    New for this season, we have introduced some unique options like "6 Pack Skiing" where we can break the group into two small groups of 6, each with its own cat or "Cheetah Skiing" where a group of 12 gets two snowcats - even a fast group will never wait! Accommodation at the Bull River guest Ranch provides a unique western atmosphere in our exceptional lodge - The Big Horn Saloon. The individual cabins are cozy and private. Wildlife sightings are a daily occurrence. Our staff are professional, fun and adventure loving, dedicated to providing you a high quality cat skiing vacation. Powder Cowboy is truly a unique Catskiing experience, so giddy-up!
