Beyond the Cat: Backcountry Ski Touring in Canada’s Deepest Powder

If you’re seeking the rawest form of powder skiing in Canada, ski touring in British Columbia’s backcountry offers unmatched solitude and reward. At White Grizzly, the experience is elevated by expert-guided access to untouched zones, avalanche-safe terrain, and Kootenay cold smoke.

While Powder Mountain Cat Skiing and other cat-access lodges offer powered vertical, ski touring gets you off the machine and into your own rhythm with nature. It’s a deep dive into the silence, the climbs, and the satisfying turns you’ve earned yourself.

Powder skiing in this part of BC means glades, chutes, pillows, and 12+ metres of annual snowfall. Whether you’re looking to combine cat skiing with touring or plan a full human-powered mission, White Grizzly offers a safe, expertly guided introduction to technical ascents and remote descents.

Why Choose Touring Over Cat Access?

  • Zero crowd, zero noise

  • Greater terrain flexibility

  • Steep skiing with total immersion

And while Powder Mountain Cat Skiing offers epic ride-to-ski laps, touring brings the soulful joy of the climb itself rewarding every turn with a sense of earned adventure.
