Cat skiing at Big Red Cats in 2011 is going to be the best it has ever been.  We have big plans, including expanding onto 1 more mountain, 65 more new runs, glading another 50 runs, purchasing a 4th snowcat, and improving cabin soundproofing.  We'll also have a new BRC HQ at the base of Red Mountain ski resort to make checking in and getting skis more efficient.  Thanks for considering us - Paula and I would personally like to invite you to catski or catboard with our team in 2011, and here are 10 good reasons why:

1) At Big Red Cats we understand that cat skiing is a team sport.   We create great teams of guests and guides every day by taking the time to get all the guests to introduce themselves to the other guests and guides.   We also ask questions about the sort of skiing that you like and what you are looking for out of the day.    We respect the intelligence of our guests by training them to be part of our safety system - we believe that guests can work together as a team with our guides to create a safer and much more fun day

2) Huge terrain - how many cat skiing/boarding operations ski/ride 360 degrees off of 8 peaks?

3) We are one of the biggest cat operations in the world - not many operations run 3 cats regularly, and are able to run 4

4) Only BC snowcat operation to offer separate trips for experts, advanced, and intermediate skiers and riders - this means that you generally ski with people going at the same speed.   This is unique in BC.   The only reason that we can do it is because we run more cats, and guests stay at the resort and can pick different days to come out, rather than being grouped with whoever is in the lodge.

5) Unmatched accommodation - choose from super quality 5 star condos to cheap hostels, or our social lodge options.

6) Access - easy to get to from Spokane (2 hours). Fly into Castlegar (30minutes) or Kelowna (3.5 hours) - just minutes from Red Mountain to the snowcats on our shuttle bus.

7) Super fast cats - PB300's are the best in the business.

8) Safety - qualified guides, and we exceed industry operating standards, as one of only a few operations to have a full time snow safety team

9) Resort Options - Because you're staying right at a world-class ski resort, you can mix your cat skiing with resort days, have some group members cat ski while others are at the resort, or in the highly unlikely event that we have to cancel, there is a back-up plan, as the resort is walking distance from your lodge - so even the worst-case scenario, you'll still be skiing or riding.

10) Great value - we have the best price and quality mix.   Prices from C$350 per day.  Book Now!
