 The
San Juan Ski Company provides Snowcat Skiing and Snowboarding
in the rugged and remote San Juan National Forest of Southwestern
Colorado. Intermediate, advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders
can now explore this fabulous backcountry terrain with the San
Juan Ski Company. Based at Durango Mountain Ski Resort, we are
only 30 minutes from Silverton Mountain Ski Area and 2 hours from
both Telluride and Wolf Creek Ski Resorts.
With 35,000 acres of breathtaking terrain in the heart of the
West San Juan Mountains, The San Juan Ski Company is Colorado's
largest Cat Skiing operation. Escorted by our experienced guides,
guests will find untracked bowls, chutes, ridges, glades and treed
slopes in an area that receives between 20 and 30 feet of snow
each season. Elevations in our permit area range from 8,800 at
Durango Mountain Resorts base to 12,500 feet at the summit of
Greyrock Peak.
Our skiers and riders are transported by powerful Bombardier
BR 400+ snowcats with custom designed, totally enclosed and heated
coaches. The snowcat rides of 15-30 minutes between runs gives
you time to relax, clean off your goggles, and keep warm. And,
unlike heli-skiing the snowcat always goes regardless of the weather.
Even on the stormiest of days you'll be out enjoying the fresh
powder.
All Snow Cat guests need to meet at the San Juan Ski Company
counter at 8:00 a.m. for orientation, and to sign a liability
release form. Our counter is located on the 2nd level of the Village
Center at Durango Mountain Resort.
