The Ultimate Montana Cat Ski & Ranch Stay
Powder Skiing. Lodge Life. Repeat.


Grab your crew and get ready for the winter trip you’ve been waiting for. Great Northern Powder Guides is rolling out Montana’s only Backcountry Cat Skiing + Ranch Stay Package for Winter 2025/26. Spend your days carving untouched powder across 20,000 acres of pristine Northern Rocky Mountains terrain, then experience the lodge by night—hearty ranch meals, cold beers, and a games room to unwind. Wake up on a private snow-covered guest ranch, where the quiet beauty of Big Sky Country sets the tone for your adventure.
It’s big powder + big fun in Whitefish, MT, with your ski buddies (and maybe some new friends). Experience an authentic, family-run operation with real hospitality that’s all about the skiing and riding.
Prime Dates available.
