Flowline Mountain is preparing to open a new cat-skiing operation near Big White in December, adding another option to BC’s established powder-skiing scene.
British Columbia’s cat-skiing scene is already packed with established operators, but that hasn’t stopped a new outfit from entering the market. Flowline Mountain is preparing to launch a cat-skiing operation near Big White in December 2026, offering guided access to the powder-filled terrain of the southern Monashees.
The operation plans to take groups of up to 12 skiers and snowboarders, with packages advertised from $1,299 per person per day. It’s entering a competitive corner of the ski industry, with established operators spread across the province’s interior mountains and plenty of options for those willing to pay for a day of untracked snow.
With so much competition, Flowline Mountain will need to offer something beyond another day of powder skiing. Its location near Big White puts it within reach of the Okanagan, while the southern Monashees provide a backdrop for a new operation looking to establish itself among BC’s backcountry destinations.
For skiers, the question is what will set Flowline apart. Smaller groups, a distinctive approach to terrain selection, a different guest experience or a competitive price could all help a new operator find its place in an increasingly crowded market. The details of how Flowline plans to differentiate itself will be worth watching as it prepares to open.
With a planned December launch, Flowline Mountain is one to keep an eye on heading into the 2026-27 season. Whether it can carve out a niche in BC’s established cat-skiing market remains to be seen.
