“Skiing is a dance and the mountain always leads” – Maryann A. Parks
Imagine a skiing experience defined by solitude and untouched terrain. With heated snowcats replacing lifts and no lines or crowds in sight, you’ll find the tranquil stillness makes for an intimate excursion for your group. These large, tracked mountain vehicles carry small groups of skiers to the top of each run while grooming the snow along the way, creating smooth, perfectly prepared terrain far from traditional ski resorts.
Just a short, scenic drive from the iconic gates of Brush Creek Ranch, Green Mountain offers an extraordinary private ski resort experience defined by exclusivity and unspoiled terrain. Spanning 640 pristine acres with panoramic views across Wyoming’s North Platte River Valley, this hidden alpine gem delivers the kind of serenity and space rarely found in traditional ski destinations. Green Mountain is purpose‑built for private snowcat skiing, where every descent is unrushed and each of the 12 runs unveils fresh, untouched powder. With no lift lines and no crowds, skiers and snowboarders of all levels can explore terrain perfectly suited to their ability while enjoying the intimacy of a completely private ski vacation.
Your adventure begins with outfitting you from head to toe in premium Rossignol equipment, ensuring maximum comfort and confidence on the mountain—from insulated jackets and pants to gloves, helmets, goggles, boots, and your choice of skis or snowboard. Once geared up, expert guides welcome you aboard a heated snowcat, transporting you more than 1,200 vertical feet to Green Mountain’s summit. From the top, a world of untouched terrain unfolds. With each descent, you glide through fresh powder and expansive views, enjoying groomed runs stretching up to a mile long or weaving through one of six scenic glade trails tucked among the trees.
When lunchtime arrives, you’ll pause for a gourmet meal at the top of the mountain at Pat’s Porch, a heated yurt surrounded by panoramic views of the Wyoming backcountry. Tucked high on the slopes, it’s a cozy retreat where you can warm up and refuel while taking in the breathtaking scenery before heading back out for more snowy thrills.
For groups seeking ultimate exclusivity, Green Mountain buyouts provide full, private access to the entire mountain for a truly tailored day on the slopes. From personalized pacing to uninterrupted powder runs, this is a one-of-a-kind, luxury ski experience crafted for those who value privacy, adventure, and world‑class terrain all to themselves.
From your first ascent to your final run, snowcat skiing on Green Mountain offers a truly unforgettable way to experience winter at Brush Creek Ranch, where private powder meets the beauty of Wyoming’s backcountry for a day on the mountain that’s entirely yours.
