Book online at: http://www.powdermountaincatskiing.com
You don’t need to be fully geared up when you meet at 7.45. They have a base lodge where you can keep your shoes, extra clothes, bags, etc..
Depending on your group you should get at least 6 runs.
They provide water, snacks and lunch. It doesn’t hurt to bring your own water bottle and preferred snacks.
You will want a ski with a wider width. 100mm +. If you don’t own a ski of this width you will want them. Rent some from one of the many ski shops in the village.
