Wildhorse Catskiing

Wildhorse Catskiing & Powder Mining Co. is a unique backcountry and mechanized powder skiing experience. Utilizing over 100 sq km of skiable terrain with snowcat trails to alpine peaks at 7,000 ft to backcountry yurts for wilderness accommodation and touring for turns.

Wildhorse is built around old mining roads in the Southern Selkirk mountains of British Columbia. Snowmobiles are used for tours and access up the scenic valley's. Snowcat roads access a gold mine of powder runs each better than the last. When will you strike it rich! Head for the Hills. At the very edge of the snowcat skiing terrain near great alpine peaks and bowls are yurts for backcountry accommodation and a destination in their own right for backcountry skiers.

For discerning powder skiers who know that the best turns are where few have ventured before - turning left instead of right - dropping in instead of dropping out - we have something for every budget and every level of skier and adventurer.

Many of our snowcat skiers stay in the historic town of Ymir. There is a cafe and a bar in town. We start our morning in the Cafe and end the day in the bar. It's a pretty simple life out here and during the day we turn left, and then right and repeat. I call it perfect private powder. Our basic catskiing day cranks out around 12,000 ft of powder smiles followed by a beer and a mellow snowmobile ride back to town. Starting from $225 for a standby pass, $295 and $350 for regular catskiing rates. Packages including accommodation and all meals involve significant discounts.

Ymir Yurts offers accommodation for backcountry skiers in a choice of cabins with occupancy from 6 or 8 people with sauna in a self catered or catered experience. Backcountry skiers can choose self guided to benefit from our years of route finding and avalanche risk assessment. Prices start at under $30 per person per night.
