Spanning more than 35,000 acres (over twice the size of Manhattan) Purgatory Snowcat Adventures (PSA), is Colorado’s largest snowcat-skiing operation and they just announced their 2025-26 winter schedule including guided snowcat skiing, scenic snowcat tours, snowcat dining excursions, and snowcat stay packages.
“Our goal at Purgatory Snowcat Adventures is to deliver the most authentic and accessible backcountry experience in the San Juans. From seasoned guides to world-class terrain, every detail is designed to inspire adventure while maintaining the highest standards of safety.” -Parker Shell
Scenic Snowcat Tours’ season is set begin this Saturday, December 13th with snowcat skiing scheduled to start Thursday, January 1, 2026 through through March 31, 2026 (conditions permitting). Each cat-skiing trip includes a full day of guided skiing or snowboarding, lunch, rental gear, and avalanche safety equipment.
New for PSA’s 2025/2026 season are Snowcat Stay Packages which pair slopeside lodging at Purgatory Village with guided snowcat skiing or scenic tours. Returning to PSA is the crowd favorite Snowcat Dining Excursions which takes guest on a moonlit ride leading to on-mountain dining overlooking the Needles Mountains. Each dinner includes a five-course tasting menu curated by Purgatory’s executive chef and paired with select wines and beers. Yum.
