Cat skiing whistler

 Cat skiing Whistler If you’re on the hunt for legendary powder, steep tree runs, and a truly private backcountry experience, White Grizzly should be at the top of your list. Nestled in the remote Goat Range of British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains, this hidden gem offers a cat skiing experience that’s raw, authentic, and wildly unforgettable.

It’s all the freedom of backcountry riding, with the added safety of experienced ACMG-certified guides. Powder Mountain Cat Skiing Minus...
