Top shelf experience through and through. The hospitality was phenomenal, the room is very comfortable, beautiful lodge, and the meals were spectacular. Unfortunately, our tour got cancelled due to weather but the team at Chatter handled the situation like pros and we are excited to go back next year. Somethings like the weather are out of people’s control, but a big thanks to everyone on the Chatter team for making the best out of a tough situation. Also, rocked the cold plunge in the creek and it was a five star experience!

Fantastic lodge and cat skiing operation! Great facility up in the mountains, spectacular views, comfortable rooms and amenities, great food, great bar, overall great camaraderie amongst guests and staff. And incredible terrain! Special shoutout to our guides Kurt and Walker, who were superb for the entire four days that we skied with them, as well as cat drivers Luka and Ben who were also wonderful!

I've been to a lot of cat ski operations. I thought they were all the same. I was wrong. The terrain and options are outstanding.
