Cat Skiing Holiday skiing and riding offering less enjoyment

Cat skiing involves conveying people up a mountain in a snowcat, the same heavy machine that is used for grooming the slopes of commercial snow resorts. The use of a snowcat allows people to ski or ride fresh, untracked backcountry terrain, without the effort and equipment required for ski touring, or foot-travel. It is also more economical and environmentally friendly than heliskiing, which involves commuting to the top of a mountain by helicopter. First started in 1975 in Meadow Creek, BC, cat skiing has grown to 20 operations in BC, more than 40 worldwide, and hosts more than 40 000 visitors each season. White Grizzly Cat Skiing caters to a maximum of 12 guests per day, which means our unique services are only experienced by approximately 200 guests each winter. Snowcat Skiing Terrain Mountain we ski is unnamed and is situated in the spectacular peaks and high snowfall Goat Range of the central Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia. There are now over 150 runs offering primarily north and east facing slopes that are protected from exposure to sun and wind. Each day we convoy the short trip (20 kms/13 miles) along the majestic Lardeau River to the staging area. We then leave via snowcat from the valley bottom (550 metres/1800 feet above sea level), arriving at the top of our first run between 2250 and 2500 metres (around 8000 feet). We have an area of 25 square kilometres (11000 skiable acres) available to us. This represents more than the area of Whistler/Blackcomb combined for the exclusive use of our snowcat skiing clients! (12 people or less a day). White Grizzly offers a safe and consistently challenging backcountry adventure in the pristine wilderness and majestic landscape of the Selkirk Range. With 15 years of operations, we are committed to offering caring, personal service, a warm family atmosphere, and an unparalleled serious powder vacation.

Our cat skiing operation is located in BC’s premier snow corridor, and our specialised service caters exclusively to small groups. Our guests are experienced powder enthusiasts with the skills to appreciate our treed terrain.
