Snow Cat Skiing
Imagine yourself skiing in waist deep champagne powder. Imagine looking around you and seeing only your closest friends and family. There are no chair lifts, no lodges- no signs of civilization whatsoever, in fact. The air is crisp in your lungs as you float through untracked terrain- perhaps down an open bowl or a nice glade of Aspen trees.

The best part about this day is that you didn't even have to carry your skis on your back! You have reached your pristine, desolate destination via a snowcat vehicle! For less than 1/5th the cost of helicopter skiing, you are enjoying some of the best snow and terrain in Colorado. Buffalo Pass, just northeast of Steamboat Springs, is known for its snow pack and long-lasting powder. The storm may have been 10 days ago, but the face-shots make you think it was yesterday!
Snowcat skiing or snowboarding is one of the most affordable and accessible ways to enjoy the backcountry near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. An experienced guide will help your group to choose safe and fun terrain that is appropriate for your skiing ability level. If you have never been in the backcountry, they will brief you on avalanche safety protocols and environmental matters.
Some things to consider about snowcat skiing:
- If you don't already have powder skis, rent some for the day (the wide bases will help you to float on the powder).
- Dress in layers in order to regulate your body temperature throughout the day. You won't have access to a warm lodge, so bring a thermos full of hot chocolate or tea!
- Always follow the instructions of your guide! Avalanche danger in the backcountry is a very real concern!
- Don't forget to stretch your muscles throughout the day. You will probably be more exhausted and sore than a day of skiing at a resort.
- Have fun and be ready for an incredible experience!
