Welcome to the Vail Powder Guides website! Ben and Jenna Bartosz have owned and operated Vail Powder Guides since December 2006. Prior to purchasing VPG, Ben and Jenna worked for the previous 2 owners for 9 and 4 years, respectively. Not only do we have extensive experience skiing and guiding in our ski terrain, but we also have backcountry experiences from years and miles ski touring and mountaineering; and, we have spent countless hours teaching, coaching and guiding skiing.

Vail Powder Guides is the only guided snowcat skiing outfitter permitted by the USFS to operate in the Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area. We run only one snowcat, and our goal every day is to ski fresh tracks in powder snow. Our safety record is one of the very best in the industry, and guest empowerment is our top priority.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our website!

We hope to ski with you soon!
