Skeena Cat Skiing
Go North. Stay Winter.
While warming winters continue to challenge many mountain destinations, Skeena’s northern latitude gives us a natural winter advantage. Colder temperatures and fewer warm-ups help protect the dry powder and consistent snow conditions we’re known for.
Colder Winters
Consistently colder temperatures help snow stay lighter and drier, preserving better skiing between storms.
Fewer Thaw Days
Fewer warm-ups mean fewer melt-freeze cycles. Helping to protect soft snow and reduce crust formation.
Northern Latitude
Located at approximately 55.5°N, Skeena’s northern location helps keep winter temperatures consistently cold.

About Us
Skeena is a remote cat skiing and boarding operation in the Skeena Mountains of Northwest BC, offering 3 and 4 day trips from our backcountry Base Camp. Our terrain includes expansive alpine skiing, quality tree skiing and the kind of open terrain more often associated with heli skiing.
What sets Skeena apart is our small-group format: just eight guests per group, with two groups and 16 guests total. Fewer people means less time loading and unloading, easier access to fresh lines and a more nimble day in the mountains.
Getting here is easier than you might think, with access through Terrace or Smithers followed by a short helicopter flight into Base Camp.

The Location
Located 80 km north of Smithers in the rugged mountains of Northern British Columbia, Skeena’s 30,184-hectare tenure delivers an incredible variety of terrain, from gladed tree skiing to wide-open alpine bowls and steep, challenging lines.
With runs reaching 1,200 vertical metres and up to 15 runs per day, the scale of the terrain speaks for itself. Far north, deep in the Coast Mountains, Skeena offers the kind of backcountry skiing that makes the journey worthwhile.

The Experience
At Skeena, the adventure goes beyond the skiing.
Deep powder, vast terrain and small groups are just the beginning. Our remote Base Camp puts you in the heart of Northern BC’s rugged wilderness, surrounded by mountains.
Spend your days skiing untouched terrain and your evenings enjoying gourmet meals, a hot tub, sauna and good company. It’s an authentic northern backcountry experience, from the first run to the last night at camp.

The Expansion
For this upcoming winter, we will continue with our expansion program of building new snow roads and increasing the number of ski runs.

If you're looking for an authentic, next-level shredding experience, Skeena Cat Skiing is the place to go. The terrain is incredibly fun with a ton of variety, and the guides take you to so many epic spots. The views are absolutely breathtaking—the photos don’t even come close to doing it justice.
I have been a ski guide in Canada for 12 years and came to Skeena as a guest. I absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for a true northern backcountry ski experience. Highly qualified and friendly guides, comfortable lodge, great staff, quality food and drinks and beautiful catskiing terrain. It was a great trip - I'll be back.
Best snow, best atmosphere, best cat skiing experience hands down. I keep coming back to Skeena Cat Skiing and just can't get enough. When there is a lack of snow in the rest of the province they have knee deep pow and the diverse terrain keeps it exciting. The guides a great and to food is above and beyond. I reccomend getting out here if you have been on the fence or looking for a new favorite annual event.
