Snowcat Skiing The Legend that is Selkirk

The advantage to snowcat skiing is that your skiing holiday is not weather dependant; we are able to access our terrain during the most epic of snowfalls. We use state-of-the-art Bombardier snowcats, of which we have three, using two daily and one as a back up. Twelve clients per cat (we run two groups per week at SWS) ride in a heated seating area. Lunch is served in the cat on poor weather days and outside on nice days. Lunch consists of creative sandwiches and wraps with an assortment of fruit and veggies. Dessert, served with a view, consists of hot tea accompanied with homemade cookies and bars.  Snacks are always available between runs.

We ski from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and have no vertical limits built into our packages. However, if you’re tired it’s always an option to sit out a run in the cat, up front with the driver. When it comes to riding, our efficient road system means that you will rarely have to wait for the cat at the bottom of the run, it’s always there, waiting.
