Powderhorn Basin is a second-generation, guide-owned cat and heli operation: four cats, one A-Star for the high work, twelve guests a day, and a basin that refills all week. Muleshoe, BC.
2,480 m · the bowl
One tenure. Nobody above us.
The Powderhorn tenure runs sole-operator across the whole massif: the bowls under the Horn, two ridgelines, and the fir glades that hold cold snow for days after a storm. When the meeting says the bowl is open, it is open for twelve people and no one else.

The cat is running.
Take your seat.
Runs end at the creek road, where the cat idles with the heater on and the thermos full. Three fields and a phone number: that is the whole booking form.
