3000 ACRES and 90 NAMED RUNS (so far!)

The first thing that's very different from the remote operators like Island Lake Lodge, Mustang, White Griz, Monashee, Powder Cowboy, Retallack and Big Red Cats is you'll start the day SKIING down to the SNOWCAT! How??

Your day starts at 8am with morning registration in Schweitzer's Lakeview Lodge.
After uploading a summit lift chairlift, 10 riders and 1 guide drop right off a 3-mile ridgeline topping off thousands of acres of west and north aspect slopes of 20 to 50 degrees!
Your average run is 1,200ft vertical, the longest, 2200ft.
You'll ride between 8 and 12 runs and normally achieve from 10,000 to 14,000 vertical feet.
Your ski guides Jon, Chip or Ken will exhibit respect for the terrain and clientele.
Eric and Tim, your cat drivers, make smooth return ascents in 10-20 minutes.

Lunches are epic! Sandwiches, snacks, bottled water and electrolytes are provided but we are famous or delivering hot Thors pizza and wings to private cats!

You'll finish about 3pm and your last run is down Schweitzer either to the car, the bar or the condo!

Come see why we're growing in the cat skiing ski industry; our terrain stacks right up there with the best canadian outfits. Core ski families with varying skill sets can now choose a destination that will truely satisfy the powder skier or boarder in everyone!

SELKIRK POWDER LODGE

We have our own lodge on the top of Schweitzer Mountain Resort sitting 300ft from the top of the Great Escape high-speed quad at 6400'. We ski away from here in the morning into 3000 acres of powder. Up here we maintain our snow study plot recording daily weather and snowpack conditions. It's also where our live interactive webcam is located.

SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING ABILITY

Expert and high intermediate skiers and snowboarders age 14+ who ride black diamond trails safely and confidently will find the glades and steep, falline open-bowl skiing challenging and fun. Younger riders (14 and younger), novices and/or blossoming intermediates are welcome in private cats only.

RENTAL SKIS AND EQUIPMENT
Travel with your boots only!

In Schweitzer's village there are 2 ski shops; the Source and the Alpine Shop. Both of these shops are staffed by pros that know Scwheitzer hands down. Look to these folks to set you up with rental powder skis from Armada, Icelantic, Rossignol, Solomon or Volkl!
