There are a variety of fully guided tours for all levels and ages such as the Night Rider, Fondue by Snowmobile to the Crystal hut on Blackcomb, the Callaghan Valley Wilderness Tour where you carve your way to a rustic cabin through the old growth forest on Sproatt Mountain. If you want try something more challenging you can rev it up through the rugged wilderness terrain on The Backcountry Tour, and for the more advanced sledder who wants to charge through deep powder, tackle the infamous staircase and rip through alpine bowls, the Powderhound tour is for you. Feel the rush and get out there and start exploring. 

Whistler Cat Skiing
