Backcountry Cat Skiing: Accessing BC’s Wildest Powder Terrain

For those craving adventure beyond the resort boundaries, backcountry cat skiing offers an incredible way to explore British Columbia’s vast, untouched wilderness with comfort and safety. Combining the thrill of backcountry skiing with the convenience of snowcat transport, it’s a perfect middle ground for powder seekers.

What Is Backcountry Cat Skiing?

Backcountry cat skiing involves riding in specially equipped snowcats to remote terrain that’s otherwise inaccessible by lifts. Unlike resort skiing, you get fresh, untracked snow in open alpine bowls, steep tree runs, and pristine glades—all guided by experts trained in avalanche safety.

Why Choose Backcountry Cat Skiing?

Safety & Access: You’re guided by certified professionals who assess snow conditions and ensure safety in avalanche terrain.

No Lift Lines: Skip the crowds and ski multiple fresh runs a day in small groups.

Varied Terrain: From deep powder-filled bowls to tight tree skiing, the backcountry offers diverse runs suited to intermediate and expert skiers.

Comfort: Many cat skiing lodges provide cozy accommodations and meals, so you can relax after a day in the snow.
