Our goal is to provide enthusiastic powder skiers with a fun and safe holiday in untracked powder. Known throughout the world for having the best tree skiing anywhere, the Monashees are located in the heart of British Columbia's interior snow belt. With approximately 125 square kilometers (32,000 acres), we have one of the largest cat skiing operations in existence. Mustang Powder Lodge is located on the western side of the Monashee Mountains - ensuring us of monstrous amounts of light powder snow. In fact, the record for the highest snowfall in Canada was at a mountain adjacent to Mustang Powder Lodge. With all this snow it's no surprise we are one of the only snowcat skiing operations to offer glacier skiing. You'll get the feeling each new day on the mountain that you are the first person ever to ski this terrain, (other than the guides you may be right!). The snowcat gets you to the best cat skiing areas: you do the rest.
Our terrain at Mustang contains large amounts of both alpine and treed runs. If the weather is clear and the visibility good we are almost always at tree line and above in the alpine. If it is snowing and cloudy then we usually drop off at tree line and ski down through the old growth Monashee forest. Over a whole season we typically would ski half of the time in the alpine and half in the trees. During the 2005/2006 season it snowed so much that we enjoyed epic tree skiing for weeks on end.
Within our ski area we have lots of both steep and moderate terrain. During a typical day you will likely do a variety of runs. Working our way to the far reaches of our area, and then working our way back to the lodge again. Rarely do we do more than a few runs in the same area. We try to organize groups that have similar abilities, but this is not always easy or possible. Groups may be changed after the first day to accommodate various levels of ability. The best way to ensure that you are with a compatible skiers is to organize a full group of 12 or 13 friends.
