8 Feb Update

We still have a couple of standby seats available on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday this week.  While the guests seem to be returning happy, and the skiing is enjoyable, the old tracks aren't covered by more than 10-15cm of fresh, so we're due for a bit of a top-up.  Next fresh snow in the forecast for Thursday/Friday.
 
It's Snowing!

It snowed today!  About 7cm, and a few more cms earlier in the week to freshen things up a bit.  A bit more snow expected Thurs-Friday, depending on which forecast you check.  Check the facebook page for updated photos.

Standby seats available for expert this weekend, and advanced on Monday: $299/day or multi-day special just $199/day!
 
Still Finding Some Fresh
Written by Paula Gaul    Tuesday, 02 February 2010 22:27   

The base is still over 2 metres, which is great, but I have to be honest and say that BC hasn't seen much significant snowfall in the last few weeks, so finding fresh tracks anywhere is getting challenging.  We've expanded our terrain and are still offering some fresh, but it's getting tricky, and some runs are now skiing over old tracks .  You may cross other people's tracks, and some still have a few open glades to rip up, though mostly you'll be sharing those glades with old tracks.  All we want is a 10cm refresh, but the forecast is looking a bit dire.  We have started to offer our guests the option of rescheduling to a later date, though so far most are still going out, as what we are offering is still relatively better than other options.  Looking forward to being more than relatively good, though; we really want to offer the untracked adventure that cat skiing is known for.

This means that even if it hasn't snowed for a couple of weeks, you're still getting
the goods.
