A
Typical Day: The Powder Mountain Catskiing representative will
meet our guests at 7:30 AM at Tex Corleone’s in the main
Whistler Village.
With confirmation of booking the guests
receive a complimentary buffet style breakfast.
|
|
We depart from
the restaurant at 8:00 AM. If a pick up from
accommodations is required this can be done by prior arrangement.
From Whistler we travel by 4X4 Van to the Snowcat Staging Area
and Powder Mountain Catskiing Base at the foot of Tricouni
Peak, 20km south of Whistler. |
At
the Staging Area the guests transfer to the Snowcats, which
are just like the groomers that you see on the hill except
for the fact that they have
a heated passenger cell, ski racks and
panoramic windows which provides comfortable seating for 12
people.

They
then proceed to about the 3,500 ft level for an avalanche transceiver
safety course given
by one of our lead guides. This is done in order to make guests
feel more comfortable
and familiar with our equipment, as well as to make sure we take every
reasonable safety precaution that we can.
By approximately 9:30AM our guests
will be at the 6,500 ft level, where they begin skiing for the day. An
average day’s skiing consists of 6-8 runs, and a guaranteed minimum
of 7,000 vertical feet. Most days we complete 10,000 ft vertical, with
our longest run being up to 2,000 ft depending on snow conditions.
During
the day guests will also be able to enjoy the splendid views of the area
(weather permitting) and lunch on the mountain. The skiing ends at 4:30
PM, and guests are dropped off in town at their respective accommodations
by 5:30 PM.
