Cat Skiing
vs.
Heli Skiing

Cat Skiing

  • 18,000-23,000 vertical feet per day, with close to 4,000 more vertical feet attainable on a good day with strong skiers at no extra charge. In 2017, a full group of 12 surpassed 30,000 vertical feet in a single day!
  • We ski every day no matter what the weather conditions are. The cat can always climb the mountain.
  • Snowcat drops you on the peak

Heli Skiing

  • 10,000-15,000 guaranteed vertical feet per day, with a lot more vertical attainable on a good day with good weather and strong skiers, sometimes for an extra charge for additional feet skied.
  • Some down days because the helicopter can’t fly due to weather conditions
  • Helicopter drops you on the peak or ridge of a mountain

With a high alpine backcountry lodge, there’s a lot to take in.
