Powder Mountain
Cat skiing – the absolute highlight of any ski holiday to the Whistler area. Powder Mountain cat skiing and cat boarding conjures up thoughts of deep, deep powder.
The Powder Cat Skiing operation has the advantage of being in close proximity to
Whistler ski resort, but it has much better snow and more of it than the resort. Powder Mountain traditionally gets 60% more snow during storms and you don’t have to share the powder with the crowds. On a powder day at Whistler resort you need the mantra of “no friends on powder days” and elbow others aside just to get some fresh tracks. At Powder Mountain the small group of other cat skiers will be your friends, and with a plethora of freshies, deep powder and face shots, you can keep your elbows to yourself.
Cat Ski Packages Powder Mountain cat skiing offers single day trips. This has an advantage over many other operators in that you don’t have to be committed to an expensive multi-day cat-skiing trip. You can combine cat-skiing with some resort skiing at
Whistler, and can choose your own
Whistler accommodation and enjoy all that Whistler has to offer – après, nightlife, restaurants and shopping.
For chicks on sticks (or boards) who prefer to avoid testosterone-fuelled skiing experiences, Powder Mountain offers a few girls-only days throughout the season. No boys you can’t sneak along on these days!
Where is Powder Mountain Cat Skiing Located? The base lodge of Powder Mountain cat skiing is at Chance Creek which is 25km (about 20 minutes) south of Whistler Village, only 63kms (70 minutes) north of Vancouver. Transportation in their 4WD vans leave from Village Square at Whistler.
Terrain The 4,300 acres of cat skiing terrain is across five peaks, and runs can be tailored to varying abilities, from confident intermediates to experts. Depending upon snow and weather conditions, terrain includes high open alpine bowls to fast steep tree runs.
With brand new fast snow-cats, the operation covers an average of 8-10 runs per day, and up to 15 runs on an awesome day. Of course, if the legs are a bit weary you can sit out a couple of runs inside the heated cat.
More Reasons to Cat Ski with Powder Mountain? This is a luxurious backcountry skiing experience that has all the bells and whistles. And considering you can stay at Whistler, this cat skiing experience has the best nightlife of all cat skiing operations – in the world!
NB Don’t get Powder Mountain cat skiing near Whistler confused with the
Powder Mountain ski area in the USA.
