Cat skiing in the Soldier Mountains is a little different than the typical guides skiing experience. Your guide team will lead you on every run as you explore glades, trees, and wide-open bowls. When conditions allow, the steep chutes and ridgelines will be there.
Regardless of the terrain type, your guides will encourage you to immerse yourself in the experience of powder snow without dictating your every turn. Our goal is to give you the chance to discover your flow in untracked snow without the pressures of a resort environment on a pow day.

Soldier is a very unique mountain, with 3,000’ of vertical that tops out at almost 10,000’. The cat skiing area is a large easterly facing bowl so it collects snow and holds it between storms. The south-facing bowls are the destination while the snow is fresh, later moving to north-facing trees where the powder lasts long after storms. When conditions allow, the chutes off of Peak 2 open up, allowing access to the steepest terrain of any backcountry operation in Idaho.

The highlight of many trips is a short five-minute walk up to Peak 1. An east-facing 25-degree slope, with 1,000’ vertical, there are enough trees to keep the snow fresh, but it is open enough to let the skis run. With 2,000 acres of skiable backcountry terrain, Soldier Mountain has it all: big open lines, rolling glades, steep trees, and extreme chutes. Tell the guides what you want and they will accommodate you as long as it’s safe to ski or ride.

Cat ski prices include the use of a transceiver, backpack, shovel, and probe. If you have your own backcountry safety gear that you would prefer to use, please bring it. If our guides approve of your equipment, you are welcome to use your own instead of ours. However, the price of the trip will not be altered if you elect to use your own equipment
