Trip Styles
Powder Cat (Advanced)
Want lap after lap of Montana powder? Hop on the Powder Cat. With room for up to 12 skiers/riders, this cat serves up open glades, pillows, and playful lines that’ll have you hooting and high-fiving all day. It’s the perfect setup for strong skiers and snowboarders who want max vertical, minimal stress, and guaranteed good vibes. (8-12 runs*)
Starting at $675/day
Steep & Deep (Advanced-Expert)
Think you’ve got what it takes? Our Steep & Deep Cat is where advanced-expert skiers and riders push the limits. Smaller group (max 10 riders), bigger lines, tighter trees, and steeper chutes. This cat is all about charging hard, stacking vert, and earning bragging rights back in town. If you’re here to send it, this is your ride. (12-14 runs*)
Starting at $775/day
