Oliver, British Columbia — A modestly sized British Columbia ski resort is planning to upgrade the skiing experience for next winter.

Baldy Mountain Resort recently announced plans to offer cat skiing during the 2026-27 season. While most of the terrain at the ski resort is on Baldy Mountain, the upper mountain isn’t actually lift-serviced. The plan is to offer cat-skiing on this upper-mountain portion, which will add nearly 600 feet of extra vertical drop.

Rides will be available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays starting at 10 a.m. Tickets for a ride up will cost $35 CAD (around $25 USD). Single-cat rides will be bookable via guest services, while private tours can be booked via ticketoffice@skibaldy.com. Guests will meet near the top of the Eagle chair for the ride up.

About Baldy Mountain Resort

With the sixth highest ski resort base area elevation in Canada and third highest in B.C., Baldy Mountain is unsurprisingly known for its powder. The ski resort sees between 25-35 feet of snow each winter, making it a bucket list destination for powder hunters. The ski resort features 35 trails across 360 acres, with an additional 240 acres of glade skiing. There are four lifts: two fixed-grip chairlifts and two surface lifts. Other activities at the ski resort include snowshoeing and snow tubing. Those looking to make a trip of it can find lodging in the Baldy Mountain Village.
