Welcome to Snowcat Skiing at its Finest - Colorado Style
Snowcat skiing with Steamboat Powdercats is a unique experience, one that may reward you with the best day of skiing in your life. Though Mother Nature holds the cards to how powder rich your day with us will be, we've put together a system with our guides, cats and infrastructure that should provide you with an excellent day in the Steamboat backcountry.
Our 3 heated snowcats allow us to group our guests by skiing ability so everyone is at their comfortable level. Our terrain, located on Buffalo Pass, is conveniently just 25-min from downtown Steamboat Springs, so we are typically cat skiing by 9:15 am. The skiing terrain is matched to the ability level of the group so it's very important to be honest with us when placing you and your group into our cats.

Jan 26 2012Last minute seats
We had two cats out today with many repeat guests from earlier in the week but also some folks who booked their tour with us last night. Boy were they stoked with the choice to call us last minute and get in on a great powder day. In a week or so, we won't have many seats for a last minute option ...

Jan 24 20124 more inches of fluff
With 4 more inches today, we are reaching nearly 3 feet of new snow for the past week. We can't explain how happy we are with this turn in weather patterns. The slow start and tragic drought we had going was brutal, something we really aren't accustomed to. Forecasts are showing 60% chance for ano...

Jan 23 2012Private Cat
Only one group out today, a private cat crew from California who visited us in 2009 and decided to come back for a couple days this year. There was no new snow overnight but the 17"+ from Sunday still lay in wait. We found plenty of freshies for them, as you do just after a storm and their trip on...

Let the games begin
Images now posted. With much anticipation and excitement, we open our doors for business today (Jan 21). Though this opening is delayed by a month and a bit due to a low levels in the snowpack, yesterday’s 4-6″, along with an earlier in the week storm of 4-11″ now takes us over the top. The two groups that are out today were all fired up as, like you, they have been watching and waiting to see when we were going to open.

Hallelujah
It’s snowing again here in Steamboat as a major winter storm is hammering all of Colorado. It started here at our base around 2:00pm and looks to continue late into tonight and early tomorrow. This storm should take us over the top and allow us to finally run our tours this season. There are more waves of weather expected over the week so this sets it up nicely for some much needed powder days ahead of us.
