that looks soo fun

but soo expensive

oh well i guess its cheaper than heli

Senior · #4 (**permalink**) Dec 04, 03

It's about half the price but there's actually so many advantages... for instance on days when the snows just dumping and a heli can't go up a snow cat still can... Mmmm Powder!! Plus you ride up in a spacious, quite snow cat not a loud as hell heli.

I'm not sure of a date, I want to wait till close to the date so I know that the conditions will be perfect. As far as cost it's $399 plus tax per person, which includes breakfast and lunch plus they pick you up in the village and drop you off at the end of the day...

For sure man, I'm thinking even 5 days in advance we could get a pretty good idea of how the snow will be.

Maybe but I'm not going to spend $700 + tax for the same end result. Also you get more verticle in the cats.

True true, heli's are fun but I'm more focused on the snowboarding than the ride up.

I'm sure it would be nice guiding but as a paying customer that's not what you get.
