Planning a private cat for your group

A private cat gives your group the whole cat for the day, up to 12 guests, at your pace. It costs from $9,800 CAD a day in early and spring weeks and from $11,500 in deep season. The guides still choose the terrain from the morning's read of the snow.

Who books one

Families book one to ski together at a pace that suits every age in the group. Friends who have skied together for years book one to have a cat to themselves. Small companies use a day on the mountain the way others use a boardroom.

How the day differs

On a normal day you join a group set by the morning board. On a private cat the day bends to your group. You can ski a shorter day or a long one, take a slow lunch or push through, and lean toward the terrain your group wants most.

The guides still choose terrain to match the snow, and the pilot's call on the weather is still final. Everything inside those calls is yours.

Book early

A private cat takes a whole cat off the board for the day, so good dates go early, and holiday weeks go first. If your dates are flexible, tell us the range and we'll find the best day inside it.

The price

A private cat costs from $9,800 a day in early and spring weeks and from $11,500 in deep season. Those are floors, and we quote your group, your dates and your plans in writing. One booking request covers up to 12 guests. For a bigger group, call the lodge.

What to tell us

The more we know up front, the better we plan your day.

  • Who is in the group and roughly how each person skis.
  • Your dates, and whether they are fixed or flexible.
  • Whether you want a heli day in the mix.
  • What the day is for: hard skiing, a family day or something in between.
  • Food we should know about, and whether you want nights at the lodge.
