Buckle in and get ready for a ride. Snowcat Skiing with Snowbird Mountain Guides is a fun way to explore beyond the boundary. Enjoy a trip to the top in Snowbird's bright blue cat as you get taken to the top of feature-filled backcountry tree runs, lap after lap.

You will meet your 2 backcountry guides over breakfast at The Forklift and load a pre-public Tram. The group will then get a pre-public resort warm-up lap when conditions allow and a backcountry snowcat safety briefing before heading through the resort boundary gate and into the backcountry terrain to meet the snowcat. You will return to Snowbird by 1 pm with a lift ticket to enjoy the remainder of the day in the resort. Choose between a group ride and booking a private snowcat for just you and your friends.
