Snowcat Skiing: It's the Cat's Meow by Annette Udall
“Nestled deep in the heart of the Canadian Selkirk Mountain Range, just west of the legendary Bugaboos is the exclusive Great Northern… resort, (one) of the finest snowcat skiing operations Canada has to offer. (They)… provide deep powder enthusiasts with the ultimate quality all-inclusive snowcat skiing vacation.”

Great Northern Snowcat Skiing
“For an adventure… consider going way out! Try the Canadian Pacific Region for some great backcountry skiing….”

Powder All Day, Every Day by Chaco Moller
“Sitting in a snowcat in the Canadian Rockies, I found myself knee-to-knee with Andy Sills, one of snowcat skiing's biggest fans…. “I used to go heliskiing,” he told me, “but one trip I did both heli- and catskiing and the differences were so stark that I'll never heliski again.”

British Columbia Powder by Dr. Brad Bowins
“Descending a steep deep-powder-covered hill, I entered the zone — trusting my experience to turn my skis while I could barely glimpse the skier ahead of me. Snow and sky merged and I imagined I was skiing in the clouds in the upper reaches of British Columbia's backcountry.”
NATIONAL POST
Catting in the Backcountry by Greg Fjetland
“Powder snow is addictive and fanatics go to great lengths to find the deep stuff…. In North America, the best powder is in southeastern British Columbia…. This is the snowcat skiing capital of the world, where (snowcats)… haul skiers up to choice remote slopes.”
“…This is snowcat skiing, low-key, patient, mellow. Mellow? Ha! It may be slower-paced than heli-skiing, but this
skiing is far from mellow… Expect to ski 12,000 to 19,000 vertical feet in a day. We skied all day, every day, until I was ready to drop…
As we say our goodbyes on the last day, I find that I too, want to come back and ski with this group again next year. It has only a little to do with
the phenomenal skiing — honestly, the best snow and best skiing of my life — but just about everything to do with the fact that I've fallen
in love with the place and the people.”
