OUR COMMITIMENT TO SAFETY AND COMFORT

At Steamboat Powdercats, your safety is our highest priority.

On all adventures, extensive safety systems are in place for your protection. All of our guides are certified in Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC), and several are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).

Our staff participates in bi-annual, rigorous training programs that cover the implementation of our operation and rescue systems. We also conduct stringent tests of our medical and evacuation procedures and our guides participate in frequent incident simulations.

In addition to their medical and technical qualifications, all guides possess strong interpersonal and communication skills. Many of our guides have been with Steamboat Powdercats for more than five years, some for more than ten years.
