Catskiing Western Style

Powder Cowboy is one of the premier catskiing tour operators here in Fernie, British Columbia. The company offers a unique twist on an ideal backcountry skiing or snowboarding excursion – a western themed vacation. Just because it’s western themed, doesn't mean Powder Cowboy skimps on the luxury. The log cabins provide a western styled aesthetic, but come completely lavished in the comfort of in-floor heating and real wood burning fireplaces. That way you can rest and relax in style after a great day on the slopes. And of course, nothing quite beats relaxing in the cabin than a trip to the cedar sauna and outdoor hot tubs. Mix in a trip to the Big Horn Saloon, which serves up gourmet food and great drinks, and you're all set.
 
This begs the question, what kind of terrain makes one need such soothing relaxation? Powder Cowboy provides tours on its 6,000 acre tenure from December until the end of March. Located in the Canadian Rockies and the Lizard Range, you can find every type of landscape imaginable at Powder Cowboy. Steep chutes to open slopes, naturally-gladed tree skiing, with powder bowls and pillow lines mixed in for good measure is what is in store here. Famous long ridge lines will take you all over the vast territory, with drops heading in all directions. The terrain of Powder Cowboy is epic in every sense of the word. Helicopter skiing Canada
 
Once you've come in for the day, indulge in a bit of luxurious rejuvenation at the hands of their professional masseuses before heading over to the Saloon for some grub and moonshine. Powder Cowboy really knows how to take care of their guests, which is why they offer something else you don't usually find at a catskiing operation: small groups. Normally Powder Cowboy’s groups consist of 6 to 12 people, but there are never more than 24 to a group. This is in sharp contrast to the 36 or more people per group common at other catskiing operations. If you're looking for a one of a kind powder catskiing vacation, with a nice little western twist, book now with Powder Cowboy before they sell out. An unforgettable experience is guaranteed.
