Rocking Horse

I like this photo. It shows a little of the type of terrain at Wildhorse Catskiing. Big mountains with some serious terrain and some great steep tree skiing all tucked tightly together. Yahoo!

Counting vertical or overloading the bliss meter

Skiing Wildhorse Peak for the first time this season. This line blows the bliss meter off the charts. It's only 400 feet but this one you will remember for a long time. Its all about quality not quantity. Wildhorse Catskiing is right in the center of the Kootenay Powder Triangle and the snow quality is some of the best and the terrain is simply mind-blowing. But don't take my word for it - check it out for yourself.

The endless snowfalls of March 2011

This winter has just continued from great skiing in December through January into February and then March we just got hammered and winter is showing no sign of slowing down. We had one day of sun this winter that was strong enough to put a crust on south facing slopes and then two days later it just dumped again and buried that so great skiing on all aspects again.

Blitz Ridge

The happy crew after skiing the 2000 ft Blitz Ridge in perfect knee deep powder and sunshine. We even scored the first noboard descent on this one. If you have tried snowboarding and like it take off the bindings and try riding your board - that's noboarding! If you want to see more noboarding check out the video - Say Yes to the No

What catskiing is - Jesse Blencowe ripping it up!

Back to Powder and Sunshine

Yahoo! 30cm of fresh powder and sunshine. Not much more to be said. Yahoo! Joaquin ripping it up.

Customer Quote
"Well I gotta chance to go catskiing this past monday, and it was DOPE. Didn’t really get any action shots cause I was a little pre-occupied SKIING! Words really can’t explain the experience, its definitely something I would recommend to anyone into snowsports. It will however ruin every other resort day you have for the rest of the year because it simply cannot compare…"

The boys from Catskiing.ca

These guys have the dream job - cruising around catskiing operations photographing themselves skiing powder. They do a great job so all the power to them. We were skiing together last week. If you are on facebook check this photo collection out.

First day of the season

Sunshine, 30 cm of fresh powder, no wind, -10C, a snowcat filled with ripping skiers and boarders - a perfect day.

Ski Bums on assignment

Last spring I got a call from a photographer - Cory Leis with an interesting story. Three photographers had been chosen along with ski models to spend three days in the Kootenay's ending in Revelstoke with no money and no car. They had to call up friends, friends of friends and anyone else they could trade photos for skiing. I took them up the Wildhorse for a night at the Wildhorse Cabin and a day of touring and skiing on Wildhorse Peak. Here's a sample photo.

What do we do on our Day Off

And these blogs for more photos and adventures in the backcountry around Wildhorse Catskiing.
So we put down this line on Wildhorse Peak and then for the next two days dragged some adventurous clients up there too.

Skiing the Steeps!

It's been an awesome season so far. Tons of early season snow followed by awesome skiing. In early February we spent a few days skiing Wildhorse Peak. A 15 minute bootpack to the summit puts us at 7250 ft ( 2200m ) and ready to ski. Over the next few days every single line is skied. The blue skies just made the views even better.
