Eskimo Freeride Cat Skiing

Eskimo Freeride is Europe's longest established and best cat skiing operation. Located in the Sar Mountain (Shar-planina)range in north western Macedonia, the 12m annual snowfall combine with great terrain to create a powder skiing and snowboarding nirvana the envy of any Eskimo!

Operating out of Macedonia's premier ski resort, Popova Sapka, Eskimo Freeride has 7 snowcats to prowl the expansive terrain and enough seats to ensure groups are well matched to ability and terrain.

When you cat ski or ride with Eskimo Freeride, you are in one of the last European wildernesses. There are no mountain huts serving beer and soup, no lift stations, villages or groomed pistes in sight anywhere when out skiing. The land still has bears, wolves, and the ghosts of the forest ..... lynx. Despite this, you can still expect great culinary and local cultural experiences.

Family Friendly

Eskimo Freeride sets itself apart from most other cat ski operations in the world by providing family friendly opportunities. Children and families are welcome and perfectly provided for. Expansive terrain for lower intermediates, expert guides plus fat powder skis allow adults with children to experience the thrill of cat skiing powder together....,.... or separately - you choose! The large number of snowcats at Eskimo Freeride allows for specific groups with lower abilities to have their own guide and snowcat to learn to ski powder with no pressure from other guests. 

Lodging & Food

Meals and accommodation are included in all Eskimo Freeride packages. The operation is based at the Hotel Bora, making a convenient staging point for all guests. Meals, particularly dinner, are a real treat. A wide range of traditional local vegetarian and meat based dishes will tantalise your taste buds. Local wines and beer complement the meals perfectly. Lodging includes access to a classic wine barrel hot tub - a great place to get to know your fellow skiers or snowboarders.
