Whisper Ridge doesn’t settle for common. Instead, we prefer outstanding bucket-list worthy adventures and memories that last a lifetime.
Our Cat-Skiing program is just that – a unique multi-sport winter adventure that is a truly customized and personally curated experience unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else. Of course, our annual average of 500+ inches of the “Greatest Snow on Earth” combined with over 70,000 acres of private backcountry terrain is a nice touch as well.
Some of the best ski lines on the planet await. An average of 10 drops and 12,000 vertical each day. No waiting in line, no cold lifts, no tracked-out runs.
All of our guides are both AVY II & WFR certified as safety is always first with our guests. We pride ourselves on making sure you don’t have to worry about your safety so that you just worry about having the time or your life.
Relieve some stress while enjoying everything “North America’s Backcountry Kingdom” has to offer. Forget all your worries and obligations and decompress in the beauty of the Wasatch.
70,000 private acres of skiable terrain, 500+ inches of annual snowfall and north facing aspects ensure fresh powder all day, everyday.
Your powder experience of a lifetime starts early in the morning and ends when you’re too tired to ski or the sun doesn’t allow us to ski anymore.

We have always had a good time with the guides finding the best possible conditions and runs for each particular day. We have had some issues on different days that we have gone , but Whisper Ridge has always made it right making us loyal customers. They provide a full day of skiing and although some runs are short we often have had 12 runs. read less

They were extremely apologetic about having to reschedule our visit a few times due to inclement weather (something every Utah mountain-biker understands during this time of year) and I assure you, we were thoroughly compensated, however unnecessary we felt it was.Their team was made up of the perfect bunch; from the point of scheduling (thank you, Nicolette) all the way to the consummation of our little adventure. They didn't simply shuttle us around; they engaged, they shared their vision of the potential their company holds and Eli (the founder, I believe) even joined us on one of our descents. Very cool, innovative, down to earth folk.I heard of this opportunity through word of mouth, and I can only hope our experience will convince others to partake. **Side note** take at LEAST two runs. You absolutely will not regret it. Worth every penny and then a million more. You're shuttled via helicopter for gods sake. Fu**ing book it. read less

Between being up there surrounded by no one, the hospitality of the staff, and for my personal visit: the mtb trails. The trails offer you a great amount of downhill riding, all accessed from a few minute heli ride. The trails are fun, bermy, and you are able to ride them your own way wether you are a beginner to an expert. Thanks for the great times Whisper Ridge! ✌️ read less

Awesome accommodations and a really well and safely ran operation. I was nervous at first, but these guys are definitely pro's and take care of every step.The trail was a solid blue - as indicated. Of course, each resort and operation can dictate their own classification of trail difficulty, but my partner who's an intermediate level rider, had hardly any troubles navigating even the most difficult parts of the trail.The meal service was delicious and I truly do feel we got our moneys worth out of the experience. Will be back hopefully this winter for some skiing! While exiting the property, we even saw fly fishers that were being flown are the property to catch fish. We might have to come back for that one! read less

We were visiting friends in Utah and on the way in I was told I needed to rent a mountain bike for the next day. I hadn't been mountain biking in at least ten years so the idea of riding up to the top of the mountain in a helicopter and going straight down for 3+ miles was kind of laughable. My first ride down was a very cautious one but the trail was banked in all if the right places and by the third run I felt great. The staff were all very cool, professional and knowledgeable. Everyone I had talked with had been involved in cutting the trails and seemed very invested. At the base where the helicopter first picks you up they had hot tubs and some yurts, it seemed like it would have been a great place to stay for the night. This was an adventure I will always remeber and would definitely recommend. More read less

I have never been heli-biking before but I have been heli-snowboarding a few day and compared with my other heli experiences they gave a thorough safety briefing to start the day and paid lots of attention to safety throughout the experience. The trails are new and were lots of fun. It's a mix of a flow style trail with a few technical sections. There is a pretty advanced jump line at the end of the trail. Looks awesome but a little above my ability. This is a new experience they have added this year and can't wait to see what kind of trails they can add in the coming years. It seems like they have lots of interesting terrain to make all kinds of trails for all levels. An intermediate jump line at the end would be really nice addition read less

Last winter we asked ourselves how we could possibly improve upon our 70,000 acres of private-powder. So we got everyone together – guests, guides, drivers, pilots, chef, concierge…the whole lot…and we dreamed up the most fun and memorable winter adventure that we could imagine. We started tinkering and ran a dozen prototype trips that combined our resources into one mega-experience.
Here’s what we came up with…
First off, we’ve limited our number of guest per day to ensure truly individual attention and more untracked powder than you could ski all year. We’ve then taken this spare-no-expense approach to all of our services with premium upgrades across the board. From complete top to bottom overhauls of our entire snowcat fleet to gourmet lunch served hot and fresh on the mountaintop.
Our concierge team is dedicated to fine tuning your Whisper Ridge experience specifically to you. Want to try out some of the hottest new powder boards from Black Diamond? We’ve got you covered. How about your favorite après ski treats ready and waiting? We’ll take the time to get to know you before you arrive, then detail your experience to be exactly what you dream it can be. Your time at Whisper Ridge is just that – yours, unique to you. Let us know what your perfect powder day looks like and we’ll make it happen.
As we make our way into the backcountry, our cats and ski guides roll out ahead to scout and prepare for our first drop. When we link up, your skis and gear are already in position for the first run of the day. Our guides are some of the finest and most experienced in the industry – you can count on this crew to read your skiing and deliver the very best terrain to match your ability. Following our warm up run, it’s game-on and time to start racking up the vert!
A typical day delivers 8-10 cat laps and averages over 10,000 vertical feet of untracked powder before a memorable ride out through epic-sunset views of the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake below.
Then, of course, comes the after party, complete with top-shelf eats and treats, hosted back at basecamp.
The following gear list gives prospective clients an idea of what to bring (and what not to bring) on a typical day of skiing, boarding, or snowmobiling at Whisper Ridge.
All of our Powder Cat days are full-service and all-inclusive. Of course, there’s a full-day of skiing/boarding on over 70,000 private acres, featuring some of Utah’s best backcountry terrain, but that’s just the beginning…
Our concierge team will work directly with you to personalize your experience. Need a shuttle or Heli Taxi? We’ve got you covered. Prefer to travel without hauling your skis around, or simply keen to try out some of Black Diamond’s legendary powder boards? No worries – they’re included. How about a gourmet mountain-top lunch stop? All a part of of The Whisper Ridge Experience
All of our non-private cat crews are grouped according to ability and desired terrain.
Powder Cats run with a minimum of four guests and a maximum of 12. This ensures a truly personalized experience and maintains an excellent guest to guide ratio. With only two cats operating per day, you’re also guaranteed fresh tracks and no need to “farm” your turns. Seats are already filling for the coming season, so you’ll probably want to book yours now…
Private Powder Cats are just that – everything found in our Powder Cat experience, but reserved exclusively for you and your guests!
All Private Cats run with a minimum booking of 1 and a maximum of 12 guests.
