Dates Skied: March 4, 2013
Resort/Ski Area Skied: Chugach Powder Guides - Girdwood, AK
Conditions: Tracked Powder, Powder, Deep Powder, Windblown Powder
Had the opportunity to sweeten the honeymoon a bit and go cat skiing with the bride and some close friends during our vacation. I'd never been cat skiing before and I was not disappointed! After donning our avi-beacons and going over the safety stuff the snowcat picked us right outside the hotel. Within 35 minutes we were up at the top of a huge bowl with almost of 2,000 feet of vert back down to the pickup spot. Our guides were great and showed us to all the stashes of fresh snow in the cat skiing area. We did roughly ten laps during the day and only skied the same patch of snow once. They had lunch for us right up on the hill during the day and by the last run I was spent. Although we didn't have super fresh snow, there was plenty of umtracked powder and the weather was absolutely stunning!! Money well spent and highly recommended to anyone who has the opportunity.
Here's the pictures...........
