You will be required to ski in control on various types of backcountry terrain and snow conditions including treed slopes. You should have experience at downhill resorts and have spent some time skiing off the groomed trails. With your skis on, you should be able to make confident parallel turns and be able to side slip, step up sideways, traverse, and make kick turns on terrain that can be difficult and steep.

It is important to have good cardiovascular fitness in order to enjoy the demands of playing in our snow. We recommend that you engage in some kind of exercise program for eight to ten weeks prior to your ski trip. The fitter you are, the better you will be able to overcome any skiing challenges and avoid injuries.

We take the safety of our guests and staff seriously. Although we continuously strive to minimize the challenges inherent to backcountry cat skiing, there are many risks associated with wilderness skiing. Guests will be asked to sign a release form, "Assumption of Risk and Waiver" prior to going skiing, which acknowledges that they are aware of these risks, dangers, and hazards. This is done on-site, however you can read a copy at the link below.

READ THE WAIVER HERE

Our goal is to provide you with the best bakcountry skiing experience possible. However, sometimes the weather and/or snow conditions do not cooperate and we are unable to operate cat skiing on your scheduled date. If we are unable to operate, we will offer a full refund or the option to rebook (based on availability).
