Pacific Crest Snowcats

Incredible day on some amazing backcountry runs! The Keegan and Sasha are amazing communicators, providing advice about the area and other activities to enjoy prior to our overseas visit. They are receptive to feedback and likely to make the experience even better as they grow. The terrain was EPIC! We were lucky to have a foot of fresh powder 2 days before our booking. The runs pushed me to my limits, and unlikely to suit any less than expert skiers/boarders. Would love to join you again!

Epic Day in the backcountry with Pacific Crest Snowcats. Lived in Tahoe for years and never knew anything like this existed. Our guides Keegan and Kendall were amazing and put us on the goods all day. Can’t wait to go back soon and see what the upper Alpine has to offer!! Highly recommend these guys.

First class operation. Keegan and Sasha were great and keegan was an excellent guide keeping us safe when conditions were ripe for an avalanche. We had one of the best days ever with 13 runs of deep untracked powder. Tahoe best kept secret and a way better value than the sh*t show at Palisades. Highly reccommend and can't wait to ride with them again.

Owners Keegan and Sasha were easy to communicate with while guides Eric and Nicki showed us the goods on a storm day. Epic day that will be in my memory bank for a while. Thanks PCS. See you again soon.

What a hidden gem! These guys deserve more praise & reviews. All went well from beginning to end, and our guides were top notch. They have unparalleled knowledge of the terrain, and kept a positive vibe the entire time. Our group was fortunate enough to have all been on the same level, so we got a whopping 12 runs in, with perfect snowy conditions. This was my first backcountry experience, and while I was a bit nervous at first, the professionalism of our guides put my mind at ease. The snowcat is also top of the line & provided a very easy & comfortable trip up the mountain each run. Next time I’m in Tahoe I’ll absolutely tour with this outfit again!

Had the best time exploring the back country with PCS! Happy and Kelly were awesome guides all through the day with a major focus on safety and fun. Happy got us into the best zones where he presented us with bottomless powder and all the terrain we could ask for. Looking forward to my next booking and highly recommend them to anyone wanting deep powder turns!

Safe, amazing snow and terrain. My day was about 36 hours after a storm and Happy and Ryan took us to the best terrain and snow conditions I could imagine. They were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and charismatic. Happy is clearly one of the most knowledgeable North Tahoe backcountry guides. He knew EVERYTHING about the terrain he took us to and made it easy to follow and stay safe. Ryan was extremely personable and easy to work with. Ryan was the tail guide and rode in the back of the cat with us so we had more facetime with him. He was approachable, professional, and talented. Both were passionate avalanche experts and exceptional skiers. A guest had a minor injury and had to leave and they handled it very well with the rest of the PSC team. The terrain was great. Most of the spots had options for folks to get air and/or get some wide turns in more open areas. After each steep section, there was usually a flatter area with trees to get back to the cat so I'd recommend for snowboarders, be ready to navigate that. Could not recommend this more! Likely once in a lifetime for me due to the cost but so worth it!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Been wanting to go backcountry skiing for a long time. Finally took the plunge and it's gonna be hard to go back to the resorts. PCS runs a tight operation under demanding conditions. They have to contend with weather, equipment, and the variables of skier abilities every single day. They manage it with skill, confidence, and personality. Definitely plan to go again and hope they start offering backcountry touring courses.
