Cat Skiing Packages

*All packages start at 4:00 pm the day before first turns, and include the same number of accommodation nights as slope days. An extra (last night) accommodation option is usually available.

2013 - 2014 Season

Rates include:

Unlimited terrain; professional guides; all required safety equipment; cozy lodging in log-lodge, based on either double or triple occupancy; ensuite bathrooms; central fireplace; outdoor hot tub; all meals served family style with a French Canadian gourmet touch; unlimited deep powder adventure in the Kootenay’s best snow belt, with heated modern snowcat transportation.

Exclusive Rates Include:

More than just exclusive access to lodge amenities, snowcat, and mountain! An exclusive booking reserves our entire operation for the sole enjoyment of your party, so the options are virtually unlimited… A few of the things we will gladly tailor to the specifications of your private group are: terrain type and difficulty, group speed, food, and lodge entertainment. For the more ambitious, we can offer cat-assisted backcountry touring, advanced safety training, or special photo-op and video missions. For an example of our more creative adventures, see The ART of Cat Skiing.

Rates do not include:

12% HST and 2% MRDT (on accomodation only).

Accommodations after last ski day. Extra night of accomodations is $145 per person or $1450 per exclusive group.

Cat Assisted Touring Option:

This special option / add-on includes a cat ride into the Selkirk Mountains and then out at the end of the day, and in between a whole day of randonee touring with a professional guide. The snowcat access eliminates the long slogs from valley bottom to the exciting alpine terrain. Single day package featuring guide, cat transportation, gourmet touring lunch and safety equipment starts at $450 per person (group of 2 or 3) and $325 per person (group of 4-6) plus taxes. This quality backcountry experience is available from December to April and can be tailored to the guests desire. Good physical condition is mandatory, as well as touring gear (skis / split board with skins / touring bindings).
