We headed out to visit Big Red Catskiing this past weekend just outside of Rossland BC. It hadn't snowed in five or six days and was a little cloudy when we got there. After a short ride in the cat we were dropped off in another world with loads of fresh powder and believe it or not, sunshine!

We visited Retallack Catskiing on January 6th and it was a sweet one! More than 50cms fell in the days before our arrival and just when we thought things couldn't get any better...we woke up to blue bird skies! Check out the photo gallery below: {gallery}retallack2010:120:80{/gallery}

This Fall Catskiing.ca along with Big Red Cats was featured in National Geographic. For our chief photographer Geoff Holman this was a very cool thing. Getting published in National Geographic gives a guy some street cred! It came to be because NG was doing an article on mountain life in the town of Rossland and they needed a photo of some smiling skiers. We wanted some super cool pic of shedding the powder but this worked for what they needed and we got ourselves some international press!

A huge thanks from us here at Catskiing.ca to Nick, Ali, and all the amazing staff at Mustang Powder Catskiing! We had a fantastic time up there this past week and especially enjoyed the 30cms of fresh Northern Monashee Powder that fell Thursday night. We will be posting pics, video and stories of our trip here soon. In the meantime, be sure to check out Mustang's website for availability this month. It is shaping up REAL nice up there!

Some say Ken Block has too much money. When you see his cash and idea put to good use like the above 'snowcat' it all seems worth it. For those of you who don't know Ken Block, he is a rally car racing guru and is forging the way for a new wave of drivers. Now it seems he is taking on the snow. This video was too cool not to share. Enjoy!
