What’s cat skiing all about?
Cat skiing takes its name from the Snowcat. Originally designed to groom ski slopes, these rugged, tank-like machines have been repurposed to provide access to beautiful areas. Now small groups of skiers and riders can access remote backcountry terrain where untouched snow awaits. An absolute dream for any powder enthusiast.
It’s totally different to the resort skiing you might be used to. No lining up for lifts or dodging ski schools. Cat Skiing delivers solitude. You and your group have the terrain to yourselves.
Cat Skiing is also more accessible than heli-skiing. Snowcats can operate in a bigger range of conditions meaning fewer cancellations and more consistent days out in the powder.
Does this sounding exciting?
For many, the appeal of Cat Skiing goes beyond fresh powder. Here are a few reasons why you might book yourself a trip.
Exclusive Access to Untouched Terrain
With a snowcat, you’ll ski or ride in areas that are far off the beaten path. This means light, fluffy powder that hasn’t been carved up by other skiers, giving you the freedom to pick your own perfect line.
An Intimate Experience
Most cat skiing tours cater to groups of 12 or fewer, giving a more personal adventure. It’s a unique chance to connect with fellow powder seekers while enjoying the undivided attention of experienced guides. After each run you can jump back into the cat and chat with your guide about your next run through fresh powder.
Safety and Guidance
With professional guides leading the way, you can focus on the fun while they handle navigation, ensure safety, and share local knowledge about the terrain and conditions.
Revelstoke, British Columbia: The Cat Skiing Capital
Revelstoke, nestled deep in the heart of British Columbia’s legendary Selkirk Mountains, is a dream destination for cat skiing. The terrain is outstanding, the snowfall is consistent and the scenery… What more could you ask for?
Revelstoke boasts some of the best snow conditions in the world. We average 40 and 60 feet of snowfall each season. More than that, the snow here is famously light and dry, which is the ideal combination for deep powder turns and effortless gliding.
The backcountry is not to be taken lightly. British Columbia has deep snow and deep remote wilderness. Heading out without a guide is not recommended. Get in the snowcat with specialists who know these mountains well. From wide-open alpine meadows to steep, tree-lined descents, Revelstoke offers terrain to suit a range of experience levels.
