Changing the perspective changes everything. 🏔️⛷️❄️
Drew Silvers sent up a drone recently to capture the vastness of our backcountry ski terrain, it’s safe to say the view from above hits differently. There’s something so humbling about seeing these peaks and valleys from a bird's-eye view. No crowds, no noise - just pure, untouched wilderness.

Snow Conditions Update:
We always strive to deliver an epic backcountry experience, however Mother Nature made it tough this weekend. Last week’s warm temperatures impacted our operations.
The Good News - The tide is turning! Temperatures are dropping and the "weather whiplash" is shifting back toward winter. We are currently seeing cooler temps, which is helping to preserve the existing base.
We’re keeping the cats ready and the heaters on. Better turns are just around the corner! Anyone with questions, please reach out - 🔗 in bio.

The cats are warmed up, the stoke is high, and we’re sending out all the good vibes to the snow gods today. There’s nothing quite like that Great Northern magic when the flakes start falling. Who’s ready to find some hidden stashes?
Drop a ❄️ if you’re dreaming of face shots!

The resort lines are for the morning. The backcountry is for the soul. ❄️🏔️
Why settle for tracked-out glades when you can have thousands of acres of private, untouched wilderness? For those who live for the "hero snow," cat skiing is the ultimate frontier. Bob Legasa AKOVA Gear
