Just wanted to drop a note and say we had a GREAT time. Thanks so much. It was a helluva pow pow day. The only thing better would have been less Avalanche danger and a jaunt to the upper runs ;) ...but I ain't complainin'. Robby Morris

Just a quick note to say thanks for the great day. Your terrain matches that of the Monashees and Selkirks. Your guides (Kevin and Ray) were professional and safe, but gave all of us the free rein we love in those lanes of waist deep powder. I was always amazed by how the Cat was at the landing zone within moments of our arrival.....great job to George, our Cat driver. Thanks for bringing a world class ski adventure so close to home. Regards, Gene Egan

Hey Doug, I just wanted to write quickly and tell you that our trip with you guys was unreal! We'll have nothing but great things to say about CPC in our upcoming story with Snowboard Canada.... Your guides are kick ass guys and everyone busted their ass to insure we made the most of our day with you. Thanks a ton!

Thanks!

In late January five of us took the day off work and went on a backcountry trip with Cascade Powder Cats and it was the best snowboarding I've ever experienced. We had effectively five guides, wore transponders in case of avalanche, and rode waist-deep powder all day, constantly doing new runs, each more stunning than the last. The best runs were so steep, with such deep powder, that as one guy put it, "you aren't riding, you're falling, and you're just controlling the fall". It was glorious, and definitely a great way to spend a day.

Hey Doug! We had an awesome time yesterday ... tons of powder, clear visibility and sunshine! Thanks to Tom, Jim and Kyle for being our guides and a great snowcat driver as well.

We'd love to get a group of friends together to go up together ... it might have to wait until next year, but we'll definitely be sharing the story about yesterday. Thanks much!

Hi Doug, It was great riding with you and Tommy on Monday (3-18-02), the conditions were insane (the best we have ridden this year including a trip to Island Lake Lodge) and the three guys I brought up are still talking about it and thanking me. Who would have guessed we would have 12-18 inches of the freshest, lightest Pow-Pow we have seen all year in the middle of March.

You and Tommy did a fantastic job working around the challenges of a diverse group and running the equipment in the backcountry considering it was snowing about 2 inches and hour. You guys provided us with freshest lines of Pow, terrain for everybody including, bowls, glades, cornices, drops and a way around the cornices and drops for me. Personally, I think it is cool to watch you and your staff successfully respond to the constant change and challenges of the conditions, terrain, weather, group dynamics and the equipment.

I try to explain to people that snowcat riding is all about fully experiencing the backcountry and on Monday we got to experience all of it! Great job as usual, we will see you again soon!

A big thank you to you and your staff for providing a great day of powder last Saturday. All of us enjoyed ourselves and will remember the fun for a long time,at least remember it long enough to book another trip for next season.

Best Regards

Many thanks for a great day last Wednesday. I couldn't believe such great terrain is in the Snoqualmie Area even at the higher elevations where you ski. I've been Cat skiing with other operations and your's is by far the best. Also have had over 20 years of Heliskiing and your terrain compares very favorably.

Thanks again!

Many thanks to Tom, Jim and Nate!

Monday was my first mission into the backcountry anywhere, and I couldn't have asked for a better initiation to the POW, POW. The day was fantastic and was a perfect way to end the best two day boarding adventure I've ever had. I will be telling as many people as I can that CPCats is the real deal.

My friend and I had a great day of Cat Skiing with Tom, on Friday March 16th! Who would guess that we would be skiing in about 2 feet of new "Un-Cut Snow" every run and we took allot of runs. What a fun day, a benefit to cat skiing locally is the 45 minute drive up the pass and we were off to ski Powder all day long! I've lived in the Seattle area all my life and Snoqualmie Pass is not my favorite place to ski, but now I have a whole different view of the surrounding mountains, I had no idea they could provide so much "Skiing Fun".

Thank you all for a great day of Cat Skiing, we will be back. Thanks again,

Hi, just wanted to thank you guys for a great outing a few weeks ago. Went up with Matt, Dave and Andy for a 3 day weekend. Hit Little Tahoe for 2 days and Dandy the last day. Dandy was awesome. Please notify me the next time you are heading up to those areas and I'll be in!

Thanks again!

Thanks and hope to see you next year!

I just wanted to say thank you for a great time my son Don and I had with your group on Monday, Jan. 10th. We will be annual skiers with your group in the future. After skiing at Grand Targee & at Peaked Adventures I think you guys are the best.

I really appreciated your lead guide, Tom. He really demonstrated that he knew what he was doing!!
