Catski Frequently Asked Questions
You should be an advanced/expert rider as we do not have beginner terrain. You should have some experience off-piste, be able to handle deep, backcountry powder, and be comfortable skiing and traversing amongst trees. GKLL reserves the right to restrict guests from skiing or snowboarding if they are not able to safely keep up with the group. No refunds are available for these guests. All efforts are made to group guests with similar abilities. The best way to ensure that you get the best experience is to organize a whole group of friends and fill a snowcat with compatible skiers. Your trip can include wide open bowls of deep snow, steep tree runs, and everything in between.
You'll be skiing deep in the Monashee’s—there’s a lot of variety such as moderate, steep terrain, big open bowls, rolling meadows, steep trees, cliffs, chutes, open tree burns, rock gardens, fluffy pillows, and long, soft, endlessly falling tree lines. Most days you’ll do a variety of runs.
Weather and snow conditions rule, as well as the riding ability of the group. On the day, the guides will lead you to the best runs for the best possible skiing.
If you want to carve super-fast, clock the most laps, or shred the really big stuff, Gostlin Keefer Lake Lodge Catskiing can help you. In this case, GKLL recommends bringing a group of friends with expert ability and filling a whole snowcat.
As many as you can. It really depends on your fitness and budget.
Every week Gostlin Keefer Lake Lodge offer 3-day and 4-day tours. For longer tours just call the Guest Relations team and they will build a custom itinerary for your group. Day skiing is also offered but please call to check availability.
It’s a great idea to arrive in the Okanagan a day or two early and ski at a local resort like Big White or Silver Star. This helps mitigate winter travel realities – cancelled or late flights, luggage delays, and highway closures. Arriving a few days early ensures you get your gear and your legs ready for your big Catski trip.
