This trip is perfect for those that want to do some ski touring and access some of the steeper terrain and more remote terrain at Wildhorse Catskiing. Typically there will be 30 minute ski tours to access the run and snowcat/snowmobile pickups. Depending on the group there can be some customization of the tour to include more avalanche awareness instruction, ski touring hints, steep skiing advice, more ski touring, etc.

Wildhorse Catskiing and Powder Mining Co. has been offering a ski touring program from the Ymir Yurts for over 10 years now and until now they have been separate programs. “We are excited to see the combination of catskiing and ski touring. We do also offer ski touring only programs as well as catskiing/ski touring programs at our three cabins all through the winter.” says Trevor Holsworth, Lead Wrangler at Wildhorse.

Accommodation will be at the Wildhorse Cabin situated at 6,500 ft and limited to 6 participants. All meals and guiding are included in the price.

Booking is available online at Wildhorse Catskiing and Powder Mining Booking

We are on the backside of March now and most of the population is done with winter. But not Big Red Cats. We arrived on Friday morning at 8:30am to meet a bus load of guests ready to pile into 4 snowcats. Four! It was amazing to see this fleet of Piston Bullies rolling up to the staging area prep'd and ready to take the mass of powder hounds out in to the backcountry.

Now some of you may be wondering how 4 snowcats can all be up in one area and not have the snow get all chewed up. You aren''t alone. We thought the very same thing. But you know, we barely saw the other cats and rarely crossed a track save for a few little traverses. You see, Kieren and his crew at BRC have spent hundreds of hours every summer glading runs, building new roads and opening new terrain so they can accommodate more skiers and boarders at their operation.

Conditions for mid-March are incredible this season. There have been a few significant storm cycles that have topped up the snow pack and brought some consistently soft powder days. The snow is starting to get heavy in the afternoon these days but with the variety of terrain at Big Red the guides will be able to take the groups to areas less effected by the sun.

Big Red Cats still has some last minute seats available leading up to the end of their season. If you want to break free from the office or the confines of the ski resort, treat yourself to a day at BRC. We just might sneak out there one more time too!

The reports are enough to make your mouth water. Mustang Powder Catskiing has been having outstanding conditions for the last three weeks. Lots of fresh snow and cool temps have been giving them some of their best skiing – ever!

The Revelstoke forecast is calling for more snow through this week and the beginning of next week. This forecast can be found at:

http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-65_metric_e.html

.. but keep in mind that this forecast is for the town of Revelstoke. The Mustang lodge can typically be 5-8 degrees Celsius colder than temperatures in Revelstoke.

Due to a late cancellation they've had two spots open up for a four day trip next week. The prices have been reduced the to fill the empty seats. Trust us...ACT NOW!

March 15 to 18 | $550.00/day 4 days of skiing | $2484.00 including taxes | 2 spots available

This price includes your fully guided cat skiing, all meals prepared by our outstanding chefs and accommodation in our remote mountain lodge. For this trip you will need to arrive on the day prior to the first day of the trip – Monday March 14th.

Since being introduced to catskiing in the 90's we have always wanted to come a visit Selkirk Wilderness Skiing to see what all the fuss was about. It hadn't snowed very much leading up to our trip so we weren't sure what to expect. Upon our arrival though, Forest, one of the cat drivers, alluded to it being some of the best conditions in years. You see, this is the thing about backcountry lodges like Selkirk Wilderness, it can be brown on the ground in the valley and as we learned...epic in the mountains. Enjoy the video.

Wednesday February 23rd - $299
5 seats avaiable in their expert cat
6 seats available in their intermediate/advanced cat

We just got back from Selkirk Wilderness Skiing and the three most epic days of powder catskiing we have experienced. It was a trip we will be talking about for years to come. Everything seemed to come together just perfectly: the snow started Sunday afternoon bringing 30cms of fresh fluff, the sun poked out each morning, the crew we skied with were an incredible amount of fun, and the food and beverages topped off the trip just right!

We want to thank our guides Jason, Lydia and Todd and the rest of the staff at SWS for an unforgettable time. They make the experience at Selkirk one that makes you want to keep coming back year after year.

Below are a few shots from our trip. They are of us and the other guests enjoying the latest powder offering from the dry Selkirk weather systems. Stay tuned for more photos, videos and articles chronicling our epic trip to SWS.
