This was an amazing backcountry experience! I went on a snowy storm day in 2026 and the powder was INCREDIBLE! The professional crew made me feel safe and confident all day. Which allowed me to focus on my riding and absorb the experience completely. I also rode with Pacific Crest on a blue bird day ✨ four days after the snow storm in 2025 and we rode untracked powder all day! I took these photos with my GoPro and had fun documenting the experience. Highly recommend! Treat yourself to front row parking, no lift lines and untracked snow to ride all day.

Cat skiing with Pacific Crest Snowcats as incredible! Even though the snow conditions weren’t ideal, the team went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible day. Their expertise really showed—they knew exactly where to go to find the best terrain and kept us on fun, worthwhile lines all day. On top of that, the guides were super knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely friendly. They created such a great vibe for the whole group and made the experience feel both safe and adventurous at the same time. It’s clear these folks truly care about giving their guests the best possible day in the mountains, no matter what the conditions are. I’d absolutely go back and highly recommend them to anyone considering cat skiing!

The staff is exceptional: hospitable, attention to detail, and they read our group’s skill level perfectly to make our day amazing! This is a hidden gem- you can’t get a better place to cat board in the USA- the terrain is awesome! Shhh don’t tell anyone - because you won’t be able to book this place once word gets out! The best ever!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mike Andersen · Mar 2025

We really enjoyed our powder day with PCS. Our guides were entirely professional in all respects and showed us all a really good time. Terrain access was limited due to avalanche safety, but we still had plenty of awesome terrain to ski throughout the day. Even with super deep snows the day before and day of, operations ran smoothly and Sasha was at the trailhead to meet, greet, send us up, and see us again at the end of the day. Can't wait to ski with the PCS crew again! SECOND TRIP UPDATE 4/2: Thanks to excellent fresh snow stability, we got a chance to safely ski the steepest terrain all day. Thrilling steep, deep and long runs!

★★★★★ 5.0 Scott Schofield · Jan 2025

Incredible day on some amazing backcountry runs! The Keegan and Sasha are amazing communicators, providing advice about the area and other activities to enjoy prior to our overseas visit. They are receptive to feedback and likely to make the experience even better as they grow. The terrain was EPIC! We were lucky to have a foot of fresh powder 2 days before our booking. The runs pushed me to my limits, and unlikely to suit any less than expert skiers/boarders. Would love to join you again!
