Kai Jones and Sammy Carlson take the trip deep into British Columbia’s Valhalla Range. They find themselves exploring the diverse peaks at one of BC's premier catskiing operations: Baldface Valhalla. These two are the perfect skiers to showcase the playground the is the Valhalla's.
These mountains are where it is all started for us at catskiing.ca. We ended up there as a result of a cosmic series of events and got immediately hooked on catskiing. The Valhalla's are a special place. You should visit sometime.
Baldy Mountain Resort, legendary for their epic Powder Thursday's, has just announced the addition of a cat skiiing experience for the 2027 season. Baldy is located in the South Okanagan and is blessed with some of the lightest pow around. On top of that, they are closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So if there is a mid-week storm, there is a significant increase in Powder Flu come Thursday! Now that Baldy has added catskiing to the equation, late week powder buffets are sure to be all you can eat.
More is to be announced, but here are the details so far:
The snowcat experience will add 180m of extra, untouched vertical (that is almost 600 vertical feet!)

January 2020 will be a month to remember. It snowed 28 of the 31 days and we spent 3 epic ones at Gostlin Keefer Lake Lodge. We met up with long time friend Bob Legasa and pro freeskier Essex Prescott for what turned out to be an all you can eat powfest deep in the Monashees. Jeff Gostiln and his crew at Keefer Lake Lodge are new in terms of catskiing operations, but with a blank slate and a tonne of vision they are building something amazing. We skied it all: steeps, open powder bowls, trees, pillows, you name it. We even topped it off with a sunset road gap booter session! The snow is deep and light and the scene is fun, friendly and always a good time.
Check em out and book your next catskiing tript to Keefer Lake Lodge

Sammy Carlson is an artist and he may have just released the best edit so far this Fall. Nevermind that some of the epic pow footage was captured at Mustang Powder, it is a total 7 minutes and 20 seconds of pure white gold. Put it on, turn it up, and sit down because this will make you ache for ski season.

Get a look at how this epic IMAX experience is being shot
Here is a look behind the scenes for the upcoming IMAX feature Out of Bounds: An Epic Mountain Journey. This featurette showcases the team shooting with all their gear at K3 Catskiing here in British Columbia. It is fun to see how these creative film makers capture the content for their films and tell stories in different ways. In the video you will see some of K3's awesome terrain and a sneak peek at their new lodge but what gets us most excited is that Pisten Bully PB 600 he is sitting on!

Filming for this year's Warren Miller film Timeless
Last season Glen Plake dropped in to check out Mustang Powder Catskiing. They were shooting for Warren Miller's latest ski flick: Timeless.
"I can't believe where they take these cats. The road systems are incredible. The guides? Of course Top notch! They have one thing in mind...LOTS OF SKIING!"
We have skied Mustang a few times and know exactly what Mr. Plake is talking about. Nick and the crew up there are all about getting in as much skiing as humanly possible. Then they feed you well and tuck you in for a good night's sleep so you can do it all over again!
Check out this little behind the scenes exerpt from Warren Miller's TImeless and then be sure to keep the tradition going, grab some buddies and go to the premier in your area.

Salomon Freeski has figured out a magic formula... combine a World-class drone operator with the likes of Cody Townsend, Alexi Godbout, Stan Rey, Chris Rubens, and Jordan Temkin. Oh, and add in the fact that this was shot exclusively at the legendary Chatter Creek and the result is the heart-racing, stoked-building experience that makes you want to charge hard every day all day. Check it out and enjoy. Charge!
