Cat skiing Fernie

Cat skiing Fernie , White Grizzly 

If you’re chasing legendary powder and truly wild terrain, it's time to ride the Koots. At White Grizzly, located deep in the heart of British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains, we offer an authentic Selkirk cat skiing experience that delivers deep snow, steep lines, and good times with friends in the backcountry.

We’re not just about vertical drop we’re about playful terrain, natural features, and steep skiing through old-growth forests. With small groups, expert guiding, and exclusive access to our private mountain, it’s no wonder our guests say it’s the most exciting terrain of any cat skiing lodge they’ve ever visited.

Kootenay Coldsmoke: Deep, Dry, and Reliable

Our mountains are famous for their Kootenay Coldsmoke that ultra-light, dry powder that floats beneath your skis like magic. White Grizzly sits in one of BC’s most consistent snow zones, receiving an impressive 11–15 meters (36–50 feet) of snowfall each season. It’s no exaggeration to say we offer some of the best powder skiing BC has to offer.

If you're coming from a Golden cat skiing trip or even planning cat skiing in Fernie, this is the ideal extension for your powder tour. Many riders combine a visit to White Grizzly with other top ski destinations nearby for the ultimate British Columbia powder pilgrimage.

Intimate Vibes, Expert Guiding

What truly makes White Grizzly stand out is our small-group approach and highly personalized guiding. We keep it tight just one group on the mountain per day so you’re not chasing tracks or stuck in the crowd. Our ACMG-certified guides are backcountry pros who live to find the best lines and keep you safe while doing it. Whether you’re launching off natural features or weaving through tight trees, the day’s yours to carve.

Conclusion

Although we’re off the beaten path, getting to White Grizzly is easier than you might think. Located at the northern tip of Kootenay Lake, the lodge is just a 90-minute drive from the vibrant ski town of Nelson, BC. Many guests pair their Selkirk cat skiing trip with a few days at Whitewater Resort, just outside Nelson.
