Mustang Powder

Quite simply, the Northern Monashee Mountains northwest of Revelstoke, British Columbia, are arguably the best place on the planet for quantity and quality of snow. Mustang normally gets significantly more snow than any of its competitors due to its location on the Western edge of the Monashees – the storms hit us first!

Please be aware that even in the regular cat skiing program our policy at Mustang Powder is to cater to the strong, keen skiers and snowboarders. You should be, at minimum, a very strong and fit intermediate skier or snowboarder.

All snowboarders and telemarkers MUST be confident riding and skiing in deep powder and confidently able to traverse across stretches of terrain. All skiers and riders must be comfortable in deep powder snow and should be very fit. Less skilled or less fit guests may be asked to sit out steeper runs or take rest breaks by riding down in the front of the snowcat with the driver so they don’t hold up the group.

Our Difference

Many Heli and Cat operations cater to the casual ski crowd who ski just a little each year – we do not. Mustang is not a good choice if you want a relaxed pace and like to continually stop and take photos. Mustang is for the hard-core skiers and snowboarders who are passionate about the sport and ski a lot each year.

Unlike heliskiing, we don’t usually track our daily vertical feet. However, on February 27, 2017, a group of 12 guests skied 30,145 vertical feet in just over 8 hours of cat skiing. Many groups ski 20,000+ vertical feet each day. We are not a normal cat-skiing operation.

BACK FOR YEAR SEVEN.

STILL NOT OVER IT.

“My wife Becky and I are now going into our seventh consecutive year of skiing with Nick and Ali Holmes-Smith and Mustang Powder. We purchase an entire cat each year and share the best Powder skiing in North America with friends and employees. Mustang Powder has never let us down in quality, vertical, food or lodging. The finest wilderness lodge I have experienced anywhere in the World in any season is just up the River at Mustang Powder.”
