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.
A day with us will include:
- 8 – 16 runs, depending on snow conditions,
the ability of the group, choice of terrain and the
pace of the snowcat
- 8,000 – 14,000 vertical feet per day
- 3 guides per snowcat
- Shuttle service to and from your lodging
- Complimentary K2 powder skis and/or
snowboards
- A light breakfast and full, catered hot lunch
- Water and snacks in snowcat
- Comfortable snowcats with xm radio and ipod connections
- A disk of digital images of
you (and your friends) skiing in powder. Please realize that there may be some days where our photographer cannot make the trip so please bring your own camera in case of this circumstance. If we can get the images we will burn a disk for you.
Check rates for trips here.
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 located 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 figure out what snowcat you should
be on.
Buffalo Pass, our point of operations, it is a 10,000 acre powder
stash annually recording some of the deepest snow depths in
Colorado, let alone the world. The
cold, dry and stormy weather in Steamboat Springs makes
for localized orographic uplifting conditions that provide us with extraordinary snow.
Combine this snow with terrain that is
perfectly matched for all ability levels, then you can understand
why we are Steamboat Springs's and Northern West Colorado's only snowcat or heli skiing
service and have been operating snowcats and guiding powder
skiing tours on Buffalo Pass since 1983.
Also, did we mention that Buffalo Pass annually receives Colorado's deepest snowpack. Oh yea!
