SNOWCAT SKIING COLORADO

SJSC is Colorado's Largest Snowcat Skiing & Biggest Cat Skiing Outfit in the USA

The San Juan Ski Company's 35,000-plus acres of permitted snowcat skiing real estate offers the best catskiing in Colorado - from chutes and open bowls to steep trees and cruiser glades all blanketed with miles and miles of untracked powder.

Based at Durango Mountain Resort, 23 miles north of Durango and 24 miles south of Silverton, we run trips in the rugged and remote San Juan Mountains north and west of the resort. With almost 60 square miles, our kick-ass cat skiing terrain encompasses more area than all Colorado ski resorts combined.

Just image your own private ski area larger than Aspen, Vail, Winter Park, Steamboat, Telluride and Crested Butte (to name a few).

Since our terrain is challenging, we cater to advanced and expert skiers/snowboarders.

Instead of sharing powder lines with hundreds of frenzied ski resort skiers and riders, it's just you, a handful of other guests, two certified guides, a snowcat, and thousands of acres of incredible snowcat skiing and snowcat snowboarding.

If you are looking for a backcountry powder adventure and an incredible cat skiing experience, the San Juan Ski Company can deliver the goods!

check out our terrain

The SJSC has been accessing some of Colorado's most mind-blowing backcountry skiing for more than 15 years. Nestled between the famous triumvirate in Southwest Colorado of Telluride, Silverton, and Wolf Creek, the skiing in Durango sometimes gets lost in the shadow of Telluride’s Palmyra Peak, Silverton’s untapped backcountry, and Wolf Creek’s annual snowfall. Don’t be fooled, though; San Juan Ski Company boasts goods that rival all three spots in the Southwest Colorado triangle." Greg Fitzsimmons -Teton Gravity Research.
