San Juan Ski Company
The San Juan Ski Company provides Snowcat Skiing and Snowboarding in the rugged and remote San Juan National Forest of Southwestern Colorado. Intermediate, advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders can now explore this fabulous backcountry terrain with the San Juan Ski Company. Based at Durango Mountain Ski Resort, we are only 30 minutes from Silverton Mountain Ski Area and 2 hours from both Telluride and Wolf Creek Ski Resorts.
With
35,000 acres of breathtaking terrain in the heart of the West
San Juan Mountains, The San Juan Ski Company is Colorado's largest
Cat Skiing operation. Escorted by our experienced guides, guests
will find untracked bowls, chutes, ridges, glades and treed slopes
in an area that receives between 20 and 30 feet of snow each season.
Elevations in our permit area range from 8,800 at Durango Mountain
Resorts base to 12,500 feet at the summit of Greyrock Peak.
Our skiers and riders are transported by powerful Bombardier BR
400+ snowcats with custom designed, totally enclosed and heated
coaches. The snowcat rides of 15-30 minutes between runs gives
you time to relax, clean off your goggles, and keep warm. And,
unlike heli-skiing the snowcat always goes regardless of the weather.
Even on the stormiest of days you'll be out enjoying the fresh
powder.
