SNOWCAT skiing__gotta get me some

That is impressive vert,how long is the ride up for that?

It depends on how many passengers are in the box and how much fresh snow there is. From our lowest pickup at 250' the ride to the highest elevation drop (~4400') is about 45 min. We normally don't do that more than once during a normal day though. It's a good one to end on with a strong group. Most of our shuttles are in the 15-20 min range for about 2000-3000' runs. Last run in the vid is furhest skier's right yellow line.



Red = cat roads
Yellow = generalized runs



This is the north facing bowl (not pictured in vid) where most of our expert runs are. Picture is taken from near junction of road that goes furthest to the right. Highest drop is on top of ridge, looker's left.

Good value, great terrain, easy access and the goods… you have to check out Backcountry Snowcats near Pemberton, BC. Catch a bus from the Vancouver airport, or rent a car and get yourself to Pemby, then jump on a sled and ride in to the lodge for a few days of remote, epic pow and pillow lines galore! Love this place! Actually dont even bother with riding Whistler anymore and save myself for a trip up here for the last 3 seasons.

Big Red Cats and Valhalla Powder Cats have a great Powder Safari deal that get's you 3 days with each and accomodations in either Nelson or Rossland for just over $2,000. Mix that with Red Mtn and Whitewater and you've got a hell of a trip.
