Every now and again, you find a sweet open stash in between the trees that is tucked away just for you. You feel like you just got away with a powder crime, and no concern with your getaway back into the thick of the trees… you know you will find your way.

This season I am focusing on the staff of Catskiing Operations. The more you get to know the amazing people that work at Canadian operations from the Cat driver to the lodge manager not to mention the Guides.

Their stories are like tall cold glass of beer after a long day of work.. Welcomed, refreshing and as soon as its finished.. your ready for another.  One of the guides at Powder Mountain getting a frothy cup of frosty love.

I could totally be a happy powder drunk.

That’s just me.

Powder Mountain Catskiing last year introduced Heliskiing as part of their all you can eat powder Buffet. No surprise.. when you take a good look around at their

terrain. The one thing that struck me was..that I felt like I was heli skiing..or at least what the drops must be like…

With the cypress area (one of 3 areas you catski at Powder Moutain) runs ranging from 1500 to 3800 vertical feet? (Leg bagging bombers)

Each time we arrive at Powder Mountain we are blown away at the amount of snow this place gets. The terrain from wide open powder fields to pillow drops to great lane ways thru the trees.

When you work/film or ski/snowboard at this place.. you really gotta work on your big pow turns. Everyone has a signature throw down.. We felt like we were praising the powder gods who seemed to smile upon us.  When we asked the guides if this was epic conditions. they shrugged and said.. “Oh it gets better”.. This is a must do destination for the faithful few who make this place their winter pilgrimage.

When Catskiing Canada was shooting with Untracked Guides at Powder Mountain, we were fortunate to have local Brad Meraly along to throw down some serious lines. We will be posting more photos from his day with us on a feature post on Powder Mountain.
