Highlights
Outing Highlights
Two thousand acres of private, snowcat-accessed terrain
The operator opens 2,000 acres of private mountain: expect a mix of tree runs, a bowl and open hillsides—all accessed by snowcat so you spend the day searching for fresh tracks rather than waiting in lifts.
A limited-size, guided powder day
The program runs as an intimate experience with a small daily party and expert guides who tailor the route to the group’s ability, keeping the day focused on quality runs and personalized guidance.
Riverside igloo and a gourmet picnic
When legs need a break the operation provides a riverfront igloo to warm up and a gourmet picnic to refuel, making the day as much about comfort and scenery as about chasing powder.
What the day feels like
How the day feels
The rhythm of the day is simple: load the snowcat, ride into private fields of fresh snow, drop into a variety of terrain—through trees, into a bowl or across open hillsides—then regroup riverside for warmth and a picnic as guides reshape the plan to conditions and skill levels.
