Maximize Your Catskiing Experience At The Retallack Adventure Lodge
Classic all terrain skiing or Catskiing is an idea that begun over thirty years ago at Selkirk, British Columbia in Canada. Brenda and Allan Drury actually came up with the idea when they saw that the snow cats used to groom the ski hill could be the ideal logistical tool for accessing the back country wilderness.
Cat skiing has traditionally been available in British Columbia, Canada where it actually started. Canada is still the leader to date, but it has now been introduced in other countries such as the USA, Chile and New Zealand.
The Retallack Lodge in New Denver, British Columbia, is one of the leading lodges offering cat skiing adventure packages to guests. Canada has attracted many guests over the years for its worthy reputation of offering deep powder skiing experience. It owes this largely to the snow’s year round availability especially in British Columbia Alpine range areas. Retallack Adventure is found in these ranges and is one of the leading provider of a rich lifetime experience to its guests.
Retallack is fortunate to be in the right place. It is within the proximity of mountain peaks that run along the alpine ridge lines. The mountains ensure that Retallack has deep snow until late into the season. They boast of having access to many steep and different terrains such as ridges, avalanche chutes, large bowls and wide opening in trees.
The gladed terrain creates the dream skiing experience for the skiers since the snow is protected from the wind and sun, a recipe for a rich powder experience and spectacular photography. The type of trees change as you go down the mountain from the fir on the upper slope, to cedar then the hemlock forest in valley bottoms.
Before participating, you need to understand that back country skiing is demanding. You will need to take action to prepare and condition your body for the exciting experience, weeks before your trip at Retallack. Ensure that you undertake some cardio training such as swimming, running and other aerobic exercises in readiness for the trip. Remote countryside skiing will place the same demands on you as though you were running a cross country race, therefore preparation cannot be ignored. We recommend that you spend some time warming up in a ski resort around the British Columbia Mountain before your cat skiing experience in the back country. This will ready you for all kinds of terrain and different kinds of snow you may encounter at Retallack.
Retallack has taken all manner of provisions to ensure that the guests enjoy skiing in the back country safely. All the staff involved in taking the guests in the field to those monitoring the weather are though roughly trained and equipped with the state of the art equipment in safety. It is extremely important to the Retallack Lodge, that the guests are safe and have a memorable experience.
Once you get at Retallack as a catskiing guest, you’ll be advised on the potential risks inherent in remote areas to ensure that no one is ignorant or careless. It is will be in your best interests to pay attention at all times to the guide’s instructions when skiing. Guests are also trained on the use of BCA tracker DTS avalanche transceiver and equipped with one which you are required to wear at all time in the back country.
