ABOUT THIS REGION  SNOWCAT SKIING

Snowcat powder skiing in the Monashee Mountains

Snowcats, powder skiing, a remote mountain lodge, untracked powder, a hot tub under the stars, great food and fun: what more could you ask from a getaway powder cat skiing adventure in the mountains of BC! Blessed by phenomenal average annual snowfalls of about 60 feet, BC's Monashee Mountains offer even the highly accomplished skier a wide variety of snow-blanketed terrain. The reliable and versatile snowcats take you to some of North America's most challenging cat skiing slopes.

Snowcat powder skiing in the Monashee Mountains

The lodge has 66 km2 (17,000 acres) on Mount Tsuius in BC's Monashee Mountains with 4800 vertical feet of peaks and bowls, down through the trees, glades and cut-blocks to the Shuswap River. From Garnet Ridge in north, to Mimulus Lake in the south, guests have the sort of variety usually reserved for heli-skiers. Above the treeline, there are roads to 5 areas of alpine ridges and peaks, rising to an elevation of 7800 feet. With the lodge located in the centre of the skiing area, the snowcat quickly transports you to the best ski terrain. Below the treeline, you can choose from many treed or naturally-gladed runs descending through the spruce forest into the cedar canopy forest. Cut-blocks like Stumpy's Garden provide open, exhilarating skiing.
