My boyfriend and I just completed our second trip to Selkirk and couldn’t have been more thrilled! We traveled from New York, he ski’s and I snowboard.
For anyone who is not familiar with snowcat skiing/boarding, the experience starts with a trip up the mountain in a brand new, very comfortable and warm snow cat, where the guides are happy to answer any questions. Once you get to the top, the views are unmatched, with no signs of civilization in sight, snow trees and mountains everywhere you look. From there, the lead guide will find you the best untracked powder as you make your way down the mountain, through the trees and back to the snowcat. An average run is about 45 minutes, then you will get back into the snowcat to travel back up the mountain, while eating a nice lunch, drinking some warm tea, and listening to some music if you like. After a long and very fun day on the mountain, you will come back to the lodge where you will find apres ski in full swing, you can have a drink at the bar and enjoy a dip in the hot tub until dinner. The food is always on point, extremely tasty and healthy, so you always feel great for the next day on the mountain.
Selkirk truly provides a once in a lifetime experience. From the owner, to the guides and snowcat drivers, to the masseuse, photographer and kitchen staff, and of course the the most epic snow you will ever find, this place is the best of the best. We can’t wait for next year and many more to come! – via
