| catskiing guiding & instruction |
Two certified guides per group of 12 people. Your "Lead Guide" will always be in front of
you choosing the safest route and the best snow for each run down the mountain. The "Tail Guide"
will always be at the very end of the group. Having two guides ensures that everyone has the
same experience and we can provide you with the safest skiing and riding possible. If some
of your friends are learning to ride or ski powder, the guides are also certified instructors
who can give pointers, making everyone's day more fun. Catskiing is an ideal place to learn
to ski powder, learn to ski trees and work on your technique in general. |

| safety equipment & orientation |
At times the backcountry can be a wild and unpredictable place, therefore we also include the use
of transceivers and a mountain safety orientation session for your backcountry awareness. |
| cat skiing vertical |
There is no extra charge for extra runs. If your group
skis more runs, we are just as happy as you are. We are here for the skiing. Just like you. In
the springtime you get more runs for the same money. This way, when you get in the cat in the
morning you know there will be no surprise costs at the end of the day. This is not heliskiing
where your day is "three runs" or "6 runs". At Powder Mountain we like to ski as much as possible
everyday. The average is 6-10. It all depends on the group
ability and snow conditions. |
| heliskiing vertical |

Extra runs on the 5 run packages are $95.00 Cdn per run.

The day is based on flying time more than runs so extra runs are charged based on the time spent flying.
We try and be as economical as possible on the flying to get you the most possible skiing for your dollar. |
