San Juan Ski Company
snowcat skiing rates
Locals know that the San Juan Ski Company has some of the best snowcat skiing terrain and snow in Colorado, but we want you to be the judge! That’s why we cut our rates by 25 percent last year and kept the same low rate for the 2011/2012 season. In addition to keeping our rates low, we have added several new specialty trips.
2011/2012 season rates
A 10% tax and user fee will be added to each seat/trip. Unless stated otherwise, all prices include: avalanche safety gear, (BCA Tracker beacon, shovel and shovel pack), souvenir water bottle and water and a one-ride lift ticket. Rates do not include gratuity. A non refundable deposit of $100 is required to confirm and reserve your seat and a $1,000 deposit for a private snowcat.
Single snowcat seat - $250
Private snowcat - $2,500 (up to 12 skiers/boarders)
Buy 10 seats for $2,500, and get the 11th and 12th seat free. Please note: the deposit for a private snowcat can only be charged to one credit card. The remaining balance, due the morning of your trip, can be charged on multiple credit cards.
