BRC Cats

26/01/2023
BRC delivered a great cat ski day, very nearly all boxes ticked 😊, certainly great skiing. Compared to three other Cat Ski companies I have used in recent years, perhaps I’m being picky, the unheated cab (ice on the inside of the windows the whole day) and no available drinks, was surprising.

Great days of powder

Nikita

I've booked 3 days of cat skiing with Big Red Cats, and I couldn't be happier. Conditions were different all 3 days (day 1 - a bit of fresh snow, crust, snow & fog; day 2 - heavy snow with crust deep under fresh snow; day 3. - practically bottomless powder with lots of sun) - but guides did a very good job finding very good runs all the time. Kudos to the guides.

Accommodation was cosy, clean and nice, breakfast in attached clubhouse was included. They also have sauna and hot-tub next door, so bring you swimming gear if you are staying in the Inn.

Ski rental was easy, pretty cheap and skies were good, just ask for the recommendation for current conditions if you are not bringing your gear.

Overall - could be a bit pricey for some, but totally worth it, 5 out of 5.

The Biggest For a Reason-Value

Philip Greenwood

About 30 days over six years with this operation. They can accommodate intermediate to expert and I've seen 13 year old kids to about 65 years young skiers and boarders. About 90% of the terrain is tree skiing or in small open glades.Guides are professional and generally move things along to accommodate everyone.

They allow rain-checks for bad conditions for up to two years. Have back up cats for breakdowns, lots of terrain, are organized and efficient.

Only drawback is because they are a day-skiing type operation and don't leave from the lodge right onto the mountain. There is a 20 minute bus ride before and after skiing. A 20 minute cat ride to (and from) the mountain and avalanche briefings before the cat ride to brief new skiers every day.

One lunch provided, accommodation extra. Priced about 1/2 other cat ski operations.

Big Red Cats will leave a smile on your face

If the skiing at BRC doesn't put a smile on your grille then the owner Kieren Gaul definitly will. We had the chance to ski with Kieren in his playground which cover 8 different mountain tops. We hit this in LATE spring and had an over the top experience. Plenty of steeps to be had at BRC.

You can get your legs warmed up a few days before your BRC cat trip at Red Mountain. Good skiing for the whole family at the mountain and nearby Rossland has some fun apres bars and great places to eat.

I highly recommend booking a few days at Big Red Cats. It's easy to get to, only 2.5 hours from the Spokane Airport. Definitely a must for any level of rider.

Check out our trip video at the end of March! Amazing conditions for that time of year. Just so you know the rating guide for the fun factor below does not go high enough!
