Special Thanks to our Sponsors and Partners!

The Sierra Nevada Mountains have long been a proving grounds for both mountaineers and the gear they trust. The guides and snowcat operators at PCS demand the highest level of performance from every piece of gear they use to withstand the weather extremes and unpredictable conditions found only in the Sierra. It is with this understanding that Pacific Crest Snowcats has carefully chosen a select number of industry manufacturers to promote as both a sponsor and partner in the sports of backcountry snowcat skiing and snowboarding.
