The dream of snowboarding or skiing down fresh, untouched powder in the backcountry is well and alive at Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort in northeast Oregon. All with the help of a powder cat.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest podcast, we hear from one of The Oregonian/Oregon Live’s sports editors, Tim Brown, as he recounts his first cat-snowboarding experience at Anthony Lakes, for the latest installment of My Epic Adventure, a sub-series of the podcast.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Tim explains what cat-skiing and snowboarding is and how it works.
  • Tim gives us a play-by-play of his first few runs down the mountain and what it felt like.
  • How to book at cat-skiing trip at Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort. Hint: have a plan with your friends and a few open dates ready to go.
  • Food and drink recommendations from Tim near the resort.
