Powder Addiction Backcountry Cat Skiing

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Chris

Cat Skiing in Winter Park, CO

Who out there is a skiing junky? We have the fix for you powder junky. Powder Addiction Backcountry Cat Skiing is the skiing drug you are looking for. Powder Addiction operates on Jones Pass on the East side of Berthoud Pass and runs daily snowcat skiing trips.

Powder Addiction offers guided snowcat skiing and riding for the powder addict. The terrain consist of high alpine bowls, gladed meadows, rock bands, open chutes and gullies. The high altitude combined with good Northern exposure keeps the snow cold and light. Operating in the Jones Pass area with an operating permit of 2,600 acres, there is the powder, vertical and adventure for an epic powder experience. Holding true to powder addiction trips are run seven days a week.

All Powder Addiction cat ski trips include transportation to and from the Village at Winter Park, powder demo skis, safety gear, lunch, and 2 free beers at the end of the day, compliments of Steamworks Brewery.

The above was a trip of Winter Park locals and a couple of Winter Park Lodging Company staffers playing a day of hooky. It was a little windy for the ski trip but boy was there some fantastic un-skied powder. The guides at Powder Addition know how to get un-skied fresh powder shots while offering a safe and fun trip. In the video above you can see the small avalanche that went before our ski crew hit that slope.

If you have any inclination to do any backcountry skiing you should look into a cat trip with PA. An amazing ski will be had and it is such a different skiing experience than can be a had at Winter Park/Mary Jane ski resort.

Looking for lodging and a deal on your Powder Addiction trip? Make sure to book your Winter Park ski lodging with Winter Park Lodging Company. And also book your Powder Addiction trip with WPLCo to get the best deal through our EasySki concierge service.
