Welcome to Big Red Cats

Cat skiing and cat boarding at Big Red Cats will satisfy your need for fresh powder, and get you excited for more!  Imagine a ski area about 3 times the size of North America's largest lift-serviced resort, but with a maximum of 36 skiers a day, with qualified guides showing you all the best untracked gladed trees and bowls - all yours for the taking!  With over 450 runs on 8 mountains of varied terrain, you can sign up for one of our separate trips for expert, advanced, or intermediate skiers and riders, and ski and ride with our qualified guides in a group others of a similar ability.

Choose your powder adventure!  Tailor your number of ski days and style of accommodation to suit your desire and your budget.  Book cat skiing only, or we can package your cat skiing day trip with lift passes and lodging at local resorts, or you could choose a luxury lodge with optional private chef and multiple days of fresh pow!  Complete 12-bed lodges, self-catering condos, individual lodge rooms, or cat skiing only; just tell us what you want, and we'll make it happen.

Friends don't let friends ski other people's tracks.

Bigger & Better!

We're bigger and better!  Kieren and his team of 7 chainsaw-wielding men are spending two solid months up in our terrain, thinning out some trees, cutting down some stumps and deadfall in previously unskied terrain, creating new runs, and improving others, so that now Big Red Cats has 8 skiable mountains, most of them with access to all aspects, and is using nearly all of its massive 19,300 acres.  With 3 separate access points, we are able to get you in and up to fresh tracks on literally hundreds of runs more efficiently than ever before!

We have a tight and experienced team of qualified guides all lined up for the season, and will be operating out of our new HQ at the base of Red Mountain resort.  Add a day to your resort holiday, or come cat skiing for a week, with access to several lodging and dining options.  You can even bring people along who don't cat ski, and still meet for dinner and spend your evenings together!

New! BRC Flexi-Pass
Written by Paula Gaul    Monday, 10 May 2010 00:21   

New for 2010/11 - get a discount for being flexible with your dates.  Purchase a 3 of 6 day or 2 of 4 day BRC Flexi Pass, and save!  If you're staying in the area for an extended time and are flexible with your dates, we'll reward you for that, because it allows us to better manage our loads each day.  For example, the 3 of 6 day pass gives you $350/day cat skiing, and the 2 of 4 pass is $399/day.  (less in low season) You give us the date range, but then you don't have a say in which dates you go out, and check in the day before to find out.  Groups of friends will be kept together.

This isn't an option for some people who have tight timelines, but if it works for you, let's sign you up!
