Pacific Crest Snowcats

This was an amazing backcountry experience! I went on a snowy storm day in 2026 and the powder was INCREDIBLE! The professional crew made me feel safe and confident all day. Which allowed me to focus on my riding and absorb the experience completely. I also rode with Pacific Crest on a blue bird day ✨ four days after the snow storm in 2025 and we rode untracked powder all day! I took these photos with my GoPro and had fun documenting the experience. Highly recommend! Treat yourself to front row parking, no lift lines and untracked snow to ride all day.

Sasha and Keegan purchased and now own for 2 years! Great company! Highly recommend. Safe, fun, and learning all day long. I personally bring guests from the industry on these outings because I "trust" this operation! Thank you, Coach Jay Crawford

We really enjoyed our powder day with PCS. Our guides were entirely professional in all respects and showed us all a really good time. Terrain access was limited due to avalanche safety, but we still had plenty of awesome terrain to ski throughout the day. Even with super deep snows the day before and day of, operations ran smoothly and Sasha was at the trailhead to meet, greet, send us up, and see us again at the end of the day. Can't wait to ski with the PCS crew again! SECOND TRIP UPDATE 4/2: Thanks to excellent fresh snow stability, we got a chance to safely ski the steepest terrain all day. Thrilling steep, deep and long runs!

Had an amazing day skiing with the PCS team. Best day in years, untracked POW every time, great beta for each run and overall a great team. They are the only ones to show you a day like this in Tahoe. This really is a must do experience...Can't wait to go again!

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!

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!

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.

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!!
