Snowcat Skiing + Boarding

Ski Cooper, Rocky Mountains of Colorado

Join us on the Chicago Ridge Snowcat Tours and experience the adventure and excitement of backcountry powder skiing and snowboarding. We have over 2400 acres of treed slopes and open bowls, terrain suitable for the advanced to expert skiers/riders. We will take you as high as 12,600 feet in elevation atop the Continental Divide. The slopes vary from 3000 to 10,000 feet in length with vertical drops up to 1400 feet per run. Check in is at the Ski Cooper day lodge. Please bring appropriate gear for snow and changing weather conditions. This is a great opportunity to rent powder fat skies from our rental shop.
