    Anyone skied Valhalla Powdercats?

    Throwing around the idea of getting on it this year and going cat skiing. Was wondering if anyone has skied with this outfit and what you thought. Price range is right for this kid.

    nice guys: merlyn SIN and I went last year.

    small amount of terrain so they have to farm a bit, but that is common with cat skiing.
    nice guys
    good price
    I think they have heli toofor this year.

    like any cat/heli if price is an issue book last minute if they have had snow in 7-10 days. longer then that, I wouldn't

    They kick ASS! They have great guids that actually will let you ski the goods if your group is capable. They are operating in a new permit area this area with new and more terrain so it should be prety good. I would DEFINATLY RECOMEND THEM. MARTIN and LYNDSEY are the MANGS!

    Didn't they move to new terrain this year?
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.

    I'm thinking of it this year too. If so it'll be a standby day in Feb.

    Thumbs up

    I too would like to say Valhalla rules. I had a ton of fun. Crazy pillow lines everywhere. Very cool guides. They even scoped cliffs for us. Highly recommended.

    Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into it and have to organize myself. Their spot on biglines looked good and you're right they do have a heli this year. Just need snow.
