Overnight Yurt & Snowcat Assisted Backcountry Ski Touring

This is a unique experience, different from any other guided backcountry snowcat skiing. Our guides will take you uphill with a hybrid of mechanical and human-power to help you experience the best skiing in our 9,000 acres of terrain. This approach allows us to ski more vertical than you could possibly get solely on foot, while still feeling the sweet satisfaction of "earning your turns".

It’s the purest way to enjoy backcountry skiing and our guides are here to help you get the most of it and enjoy it safely. This is an experience for the skier or rider who wants to experience the mountains in the most unfiltered way.

Afterwards, your group will stay at one of two fully-equipped backcountry yurts. Our staff cooks up delicious meals for dinner, breakfast and your lunch for the next day.
