New equipment for backcountry adventures and new perks for season passholders are among the most exciting changes at Brundage Mountain Resort this winter.

New Snowcat and Sleds for Backcountry Thrills

Brundage Mountain Snowcat Adventures has been guiding skiers and boarders into the powdery backcountry of the Payette National Forest for nearly three decades. This year, the operation is adding an additional snowcat to its fleet. This 12-passenger SnowCat adds a layer of reliability to the program. One SnowCat will remain ‘on standby’ in case the other machines have mechanical issues.

Brundage Snowmobile Adventures offers guided snowmobile trips into the Payette backcountry. This year, the program will be riding on 16 brand new Polaris snowmobiles. Models include the 800 and 600 Pro-RMK 155 and the 600 Voyager 144. In addition to guided trips, Brundage Snowmobile Adventures offers rentals for those with experience in backcountry sledding.

 “We have one of the best SnowCat programs in North America and this additional backcountry SnowCat helps ensure more great powder days for our most passionate skiers and riders,” said General Manager, Ken Rider. “Our guided Snowmobile program is growing in popularity and the upgraded and expanded fleet will allow us to get more people out experiencing the beauty of the backcountry.”

Season Long Ski Packages for Kids

Get your kids geared up for the season and only hit the rental shop once! The Fall Line Shop is offering season-long ski packages for kids five feet and under for just $89 for skis, boots and poles. Fit, tech and maintenance work is included for the season.

A Clear Shot on Hot Shot 

For those tracking the ongoing brush cutting and thinning across the mountain, this year’s focus areas are Hot Shot, Lower Kickback, Stump, Race Course and the lower reaches of NW Passage, among others. Cutting and thinning the brush and trees allows for better conditions early season and more wide open lines on those epic powder days.
