The White Grizzly Peak Experience
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KOOTENAY BACKCOUNTRY GUIDES
A True Kootenay Backcountry Ski Experience
The White Grizzly Peak Experience combines snowcat access and ski touring to remove the limits of both.
THE GOAL IS SIMPLE. SKI THE BEST TERRAIN AVAILABLE, EVERY DAY.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Cat skiing is limited by roads. Ski touring is limited by distance. This removes both.
- The cat gets you deep, fast
- Touring opens up more options
- Each day is built around conditions, terrain, and the crew
We ski/ride the best terrain available that day.
When alpine conditions allow, we use touring to access bigger lines and more complex terrain. When storms roll in, we stay in the trees and use the cat to stack efficient laps.
WE GO WHERE THE SKIING IS BEST
Who This Is For

YOU WILL GET THE MOST OUT OF IT IF YOU ARE
