What is Cat Skiing?
Cat skiing involves using a snowcat a large, tracked vehicle—to transport skiers and snowboarders up remote, snow-covered mountains. Unlike traditional resort skiing, cat skiing provides access to unspoiled terrain, offering fresh tracks and a sense of solitude. It's a cost-effective alternative to heli-skiing, with the added benefit of operating in various weather conditions.
