Whistler Cat Skiing If the budget can't quite stretch to a day of heli or you are a bit nervous about helicopters, then
cat skiing might be just the ticket for you. Cat skiing accesses very similar terrain to heli skiing. The snow cats hold a dozen or so people so get a group together and have a great day out.
