The White Grizzly Cat Skiing Experience
When it comes to the best cat skiing in BC, there’s one name that powder hounds consistently whisper with reverence White Grizzly. Nestled in the remote Goat Range of British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains, White Grizzly delivers a unique blend of adrenaline, solitude, and untouched terrain that redefines what cat skiing is all about.
What Is Cat Skiing?
If you’ve ever wondered what is cat skiing, it’s one of the most thrilling ways to access deep backcountry snow without the expense or unpredictability of heli-skiing. A snowcat a powerful, treaded vehicle transports small groups of riders up remote mountainsides, dropping them into pristine terrain far from crowded resorts. It’s guided, safe, and built around chasing untracked powder in untouched alpine and glade environments.
The Terrain: Steep Trees, Chutes & Kootenay Coldsmoke
At White Grizzly, the terrain isn’t just scenic it’s legendary. While many operations focus on high alpine bowls and mellow runs, White Grizzly’s focus is what sets it apart: steep tree skiing, tight chutes, natural drops, and the iconic Kootenay “Coldsmoke” powder that floats under your skis like a dream.
Sure, some of our runs start above treeline ideal for cruisy turns on bluebird days but what truly defines our experience is riding through old-growth forests, choosing your own line through technical terrain features, and launching into soft pillows of skiing pow. You’ll find the freedom to explore paired with the confidence of ACMG-certified guides who know the terrain like the backs of their hands.
Our private zone in the Goat Range is northeast-facing, which means better snow retention, less wind effect, and reliable conditions almost every day of the winter season. It’s a true backcountry playground for advanced to expert riders.
All-Inclusive Catskiing Packages
Operating from mid-December through early April, we offer three- and four-day cat skiing packages during the heart of winter. Each day brings between six and nine epic runs up to 5,000 vertical meters (or 16,500 feet) of skiing.
It’s a curated winter escape, designed for those who live for deep turns, fresh lines, and unforgettable memories.
Who It’s For: Powder-Obsessed Experts
Our terrain is no joke and that’s exactly the point. White Grizzly is built for advanced to expert skiers and snowboarders who thrive on tree skiing, deep pow, and challenging lines. If you're comfortable with double-black terrain at a resort or black runs in Europe, you'll feel right at home in our backcountry zone.
