Ski the Unspoiled Slopes in a Snowcat
Monarch Mountains, Colorado
A delightfully extreme cat-skiing escapade at Colorado’s Monarch Mountain. Meet at the yurt, pile in the back of a snowcat, then venture into the undisturbed powder of trails like Mirkwood and Orcs.

Still spring for the whole cabin, but courtesy of Creekside Chalets (with one private hot tub apiece).
