Did You Know?

There are at least 18 snowcat skiing operators in British Columbia, located in the Rockies, the Selkirks, the Monashees, the Shuswaps, the Coast Range and elsewhere. Every year,more and more strong-intermediate and expert skiers are turning to snowcat skiing for great powder skiing. Snowcat skiing does not require prior "backcountry" experience, special training or special gear. Just show up with your boots and some clothing and operators will rent you the best ski for the snow and the terrain (snowboarders need to bring their boards). Never done it before? Some operators provide instruction for novice powder snow skiers. It helps to be in good shape, but lots of "powder" experience is often not necessary.

Some operators having a predominance of steep terrain ask for expert skiers only, but there are may operators with a wider variety of terrain, with more "mellow" slopes that are perfect for any strong-intermediate skier.
