Soldier Mountain Cat Skiing

Yesterday I worked for one of my favorite magazines, Sun Valley Magazine, shooting an assignment on a local ski hill's snow cat backcountry ski operation. I know it is hard to say that shooting an assignment like this is "work!" I had never been cat skiing and would recommend it to any intermediate skier. The whole experience is the perfect mix of riding lifts and heli-skiing--super social on the ride up and incredible snow on the way down--without any rush! Larry & Kyle, a father son team, which manage Soldier Mountain Cat Skiing are two of the friendliest guys you'll meet and make the trip all smiles.
