ABILITY LEVELS & TERRAIN

What is your biggest fear when planning a powdercat trip where you will be skiing and riding with people whom you have never met? Is it that you are afraid that they are either to slow or to fast, or that the guides will be taking you into terrain that is way to mellow or a bit to steep?

When you reserve your trip, our reservation team will ask you to rate your skiing and snowboarding ability. Your guides will always attempt to select runs that suit your ability and comfort level, while offering just the right amount of challenge. Please be honest with us when rating the ability for yourself and your group.

As the only snowcat operation on Buffalo Pass, our powdercat skiing permit allows us to access 10,000 acres of heavenly terrain, in just a quick 20-minute van drive from downtown Steamboat Springs. The combination of very dry powder, a variety of North, South, East and West facing terrain, and groves of Aspen, Spruce and Fir trees, allows our guides the ability to search out and find the best skiing and riding that will match your group’s goals and ability level.

For those guests who greatly overstates their ability level, we reserve the right to restrict them from skiing. No refunds will be given to these guests. Sitting in the cat is no fun, so please be honest when rating your ability level.
