Cat skiing with Manashee Mountain Cats

Last weekend 24 members of VOCO got to go cat skiing with Monashee Mountain Cats for the day. There was one group on Saturday and another on Sunday. I went on the Saturday trip. We started bright and early at 7:30 am in Brookes garage in Sicamous. The guides all introduced them self and we sign the liability forms. Giving them the right to drag us to the top of some great mountains just outside of Sicamous. We spent an hour or so going through basic avalanche awareness coarse and then we where on our way. The snow about knee to thigh deep and we got about 7 or 8 runs in! It turned out to be one of the best days of the year. If any one has picture from cat skiing please send them to vocojournal@gmail.com. We will be sure to post them so everyone can check them out. http://www.monasheemountaincats.com/
