High Season – (Jan 22 to March 7) The most consistent conditions of the year and the most popular. Standby seats a rarity in February and early March.
Early Season – (Dec 19-Jan 21). Big early season snowfalls make Dec/Jan a wonderful month to book a ski trip. We often have last minute availability prior to Christmas so if you want to come up in December and check out our fabulous early season call for current availability.
Late Season – (March 8-28). Often some of the best days of the year after fresh snowfalls, however the days are longer and snow is more sun-affected, especially after a few days without snow, and rain events are more likely.
Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE. If you prefer to have the flexibility of a refundable ticket, then you can add "Cancellation Insurance" for C$100/seat/day, this allows for a refund if a trip is cancelled by you or us for any reason. (Refunds ticket price, but not the $100 cancellation insurance itself). Most people just opt to reschedule for free.
- Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE. If you prefer to have the flexibility of a refundable ticket, add the $100/day refundable ticket option. Note that in this case the $100 is not refunded, just the regular ticket price.
- Dates are flexible and need not be consecutive. Please book the ability level which pertains to the slowest person in your booking group so that they can make it through the day without having to sit runs out.If weather is looking potentially hazardous or just not like much fun, we'll let you know and will in many cases offer the option of a transferable rain check which is good for the remainder of the season, plus two more seasons.
- Lunch is included. Breakfast and coffee are not included, but are available starting at 6:45am next door at "FRESH Cafe & Apres"
- All prices in Canadian dollars. Cat skiing subject to $4/day Crown Land user fee and 5% GST. Lodging 16% taxes.
- Bookings are 100% payable at time of booking
- All guests will be required to read and sign the Big Red Cats waiver prior to skiing.
- Please take time to read and understand our terms and conditions carefully - particularly that we do not provide refunds.
- We strongly suggest that you purchase travel insurance that contains both trip cancellation insurance and medical evacuation insurance.
- We recommend that all people use fat powder skis to make the day more fun. Also, if you rent, your skis won't get damaged in transport or in the snowcat!
- Masks will be required while inside the snowcat. In order to keep masks on in the snowcat, all food and drink will be consumed outside the cat, and there will be a lunch break incorporated into the day to facilitate this.
- Mixed-groups will use a snowcat with clear vinyl installed between the front and back rows, with separate access doors, in order to compartmentalize groups into separate social bubbles and reduce contamination. Heaters will be installed.
- Private groups will continue to use a snowcat without the vinyl divider unless requested.
- Mixed group guests are requested to drive their own vehicle to the snowcat staging area in order to minimize interaction with others. Private groups can self-drive as well or take our shuttle bus, but masks are requested on the shuttle. Each group has its own separate bus.
- In order to limit the number of people, a staff photographer will no longer be assigned to groups. Private groups who would like to request a photographer may do so in advance, for $375.
Intermediate Groups
Skiers & snowboarders at this level are those who:
- May have little or no powder experience.
- Are confident on blue runs and will occasionally ski black runs on a lift served ski area, but may fall regularly in the woods.
- Are comfortable making smooth parallel turns
- Enjoy new challenges and have a good attitude.
- Seek to build their powder confidence.
- Are reasonably fit, though sometimes not as fit as they used to be.
Advanced Groups
Advanced skiers and riders enjoy diverse terrain including gladed areas, open bowls, steeper terrain and trees. We ski and ride at a comfortable pace, allowing everyone to enjoy their runs without a rushed feeling, and regroup a couple of times on the way down for a breather and a laugh. Advanced skiers and riders:
- Have previous powder experience.
- Are comfortable on almost any terrain.
- Divide their time between blue, black and double black runs on a lift served ski area.
- Enjoy groomed and ungroomed terrain, and now how to handle adverse snow conditions.
- Are comfortable in gladed areas and tree runs.
- Might enjoy a few small jumps if conditions are just right, but aren't generally keen on cliffs.
Expert Groups
This group is suited for ski patrollers, ex racers, freestylers, instructors, or locals of Rossland BC - who are without doubt the best skiers in the world! For some, "expert" is not enough. If you WANT to jump off of 20-foot cliffs, if you want runs where jumps are mandatory, if you want really steep drop-ins and pillows, if you are extremely fit, very experienced, young and strong, and you have found that people who have classified themselves as "expert" have been slowing you down, ask about "Uber Expert." Skiers and snowboarders at the expert level:
- Have significant and extensive powder experience.
- Are comfortable on any terrain at any speed.
- Able to ski tight tree runs well (helps with exits and when stability is poor).
- Ski and board black and double black runs with style.
- Know how to handle any snow conditions.
Uber-Expert Groups
Are you BETTER than most of the people in the "Expert" group? Are you worried that if you sign up for "Expert" that there will still be pretenders in the group who will hold you back? Well, we do our best, but that can happen sometimes, so if you are truly really strong, this is what you do: Request an "uber-expert" group, if you can handle all of the requirements of "expert" and you also:
- Like jumps and drops. Lots of them. Mandatory air. All day long.
- Are super fit and can ski or ride top to bottom all day without a rest.
- Don't chicken out from a jump. If the guide can do it, you can do it, because there may be no way around where this group goes.
Can I change my reservation? Is there a cancellation fee?
You may change the date of your reservation any time 90 days or more in advance of the trip, provided that space is still available. Your reservation is NOT locked in until after we have received your payment. Once payment is processed, you have the reservation, and the payment is irreversible. In the event that the weather renders the skiing conditions hazardous, you may be given the option to reschedule to another date in the same or following season. If you evaluate your options and do not want to opt for a rain check, that is fine, we will take you cat skiing, though the terrain on offer may be limited, and the experience may be less than desirable. However, if we do offer a rain check, it is transferable, and it is likely that is a good choice to ski at the resort instead, and return another day.
Can I bring the whole family? What age?
We have several family groups, and groups consisting of 2 or 3 families, who return year after year. If you rent a full cat, you can bring children of any age, as long as they are capable of skiing deep snow in the backcountry, and you ski with them at all times.Children under 12 are discouraged unless you have your own private cat, for social reasons.
I want a multi-day lodge type experience. Can I get that at Big Red Cats?
Yes. While we don't have a remote lodge, we do have a 6-bedroom "Big Red Lodge" if you have a group of 12, and most of the guests at the Red Shutter Inn and many at the Ram's Head Inn are catskiers, so there is plenty of opportunity to socialize. Dinners may also be catered in for your group by pre-arrangement, if you don't want to eat out at restaurants every night.
I want to holiday with my wife, but she's not up to cat skiing. What can she do?
As we are resort-based, Big Red Cats is an ideal choice for those who would like to travel with their wife and/or family, but get in some powder skiing as well. Staying at the base of Red Mountain, you can have breakfast together, and they can do other activities while you are cat skiing for the day, before meeting up again for dinner and apres-ski time together. Lift passes at Red Mountain, the spa or shopping in Rossland (only 5 minutes away), nordic skiing at Black Jack (2 minute drive away) or hiking along the Centennial Trail are all popular things to do. Mobile massage therapists can also be arranged to come right to where you're staying - though this is best arranged in advance. There are several excellent restaurants at Red Mountain and in Rossland as well.
Can I cat ski every other day and get the multi-day rate, or subsequent days only?
Some people are worried that they won't have the leg strength to cat ski 3 days in a row, but would still like the multi-day rate. To them, I say: YES! Because we offer day trips, and are resort-based, we are able to package a holiday which includes lodging for a week, for example, with lift passes at Red or Whitewater, or rest days for the spa, interspersed with your cat skiing days. This is often ideal for people whose fitness isn't what they'd like it to be, or for couples where one person wants non-stop powder skiing, but the other would prefer to do a day, and then spend the next day reading a book, relaxing in the hot tub, and getting a massage or spa treatment before tackling the next day in the backcountry.
How far is it from the meeting point to the snowcat?
Big Red Cats has very quick and easy access to its ski terrain, which makes a multi-day experience simple and painless, even while staying at the resort. It is about a 25-30 minute highway drive from our meeting point at Red Mountain Resort to our snowcat shed. Because the highway takes us all the way up to 1500m, it is a simple and quick process. You can take our shuttle bus, or there is parking for your own vehicle if you prefer. The daily avalanche training is performed there, and from the cat shed, it is only 40 minutes to the top of the first run. Note: If you are a part of a multi-day full-cat group booking, you only need to do the safety briefing on the first day, and can arrange for the quick program on subsequent days. In that case, it is just a 12-15 minute drive to the close highway drop, and only 20 minutes in the snowcat before your first run - not significantly different than the first-run travel time if staying at a remote lodge! Only one of the 3 cats can do the quick drop, and the group heads out to the more remote terrain at Mt Mackie, Venus, and Claw - skiing on the way out and in on Mt Crowe and Neptune.
Can I bring my own transceiver, probe & shovel?
We provide transceivers (Mammut Pulse), and we prefer that all guests use the transceivers provided, so that the safety briefing is the same for all. It is highly unlikely that transceivers wouldn't "speak" to each other, but we still prefer to use all the same beacon, as we have checked and double-checked our transceivers and it minimizes risk. We have a guest pack available for every guest, with probes and shovels. If you prefer to bring your own pack with probe and shovel, you are quite welcome to as long as your equipment is high quality. We have a few avalanche airbag packs for rent. You need to book these in advance. You are welcome to bring your own if you have them, but if you are flying make sure to arrange an air canister in advance, as you can't fly with compressed gas.
Can we drink alcohol or smoke weed during the cat ski day?
No, of course not! It is not permitted to drink alcohol or use any non-prescription drugs during your cat skiing day. It is permitted to bring a can (cans only please) of beer to enjoy after you have completed your final run of the day, and what you do in the evenings is your own business, but there can be no drinking during the day, as your inability to focus on instructions may impact the safety of yourself and others in the group. If you are found to be doing either of the above, you will be "benched" - told to sit in the snowcat for the rest of the day and discontinue skiing. If you request to be removed from the area, there is a $50 charge. If you must smoke cigarettes, please consider others and position yourself downwind, so that they can enjoy the fresh air in the great outdoors.
Food?
Lunch is provided and is eaten during ascents in the snowcat, which allows us more time for skiing each day. We focus on whole and organic foods as much as possible, with two sandwiches, two cookies, and an apple per person, as well as water. If you don't like ham sandwiches, please tell us in advance and we'll make you something else.
What is the weather like?
Big Red Cats is very close to Red Mountain BC which is in BC’s famous Powder Triangle. It snows and snows hard - sometimes it will snow for weeks without stopping. We receive about 40ft of it per year. In general, temperatures range between -1 and -10. However, prior to mid February we potentially can get brief periods of very cold arctic air with temperatures in the range of -20 to -30 Celsius. Please be prepared for all mountain weather conditions. We recommend that you bring a face mask or a snorkel for those days when the powder is so deep that every few turns you have a mouthful of snow. Am I ready for snowcat skiing in deep powder? If you are a strong intermediate skier or boarder, able to ski with confidence on blue (red in Europe) runs at ski resorts in varying snow conditions (not necessarily powder), you are then ready for snowcat skiing with us. You should have been skiing actively for several consecutive years. Backcountry snowcat skiing is not for beginner skiers. As a local rule of thumb, you should be able to ski Red's Paradise "Mini-Bowls" before signing up for an Intermediate tour, you should be comfortable in the "Powderfields" before signing up for an Advanced tour, and you should be able to ski the killing fields of Red's "Cambodia" before considering an Expert tour. If you aren't sure, it is better to underestimate your ability than to over-estimate.
Do you offer discounts for groups?
Yes! Our full-cat pricing is based on "buy 10 seats get 2 free." 12 seats is considered a full cat. Some of our cabins have space for 13 or 14 - though if you bring extra people, they have to pay a pro-rated amount for their seats.
Can I rent fat powder skis?
Yes, we have a large fleet of skis, but it's best to book the skis when you book your trip, to request the style and size that you prefer. That way, if a shortage is foreseen, we can make arrangements to get more skis. Ski rental is $39 for a day, or $29/day if booking multiple days. Poles are $5/day
What's the vertical? How many runs?
The vertical depends on which group you're in. The runs are generally between 1200-1800 feet each, and average around 1400ft. (The top elevation is about 2200m, and the bottom is about 1650, but most runs are less than that). An expert group typically gets 10-13 runs in (15,000ft or more) , an advanced group typically 7-11 (10,000 or more), and an intermediate group 6-9 (8000 or more). So that's a pretty large range. If you don't get at least 6 runs in, we'll give a partial credit to return. We have had an expert group get in over 30,000ft one day, but that's the record. They just keep going all day, it isn't capped at any particular number of runs. If it has been a long time since the last snowfall, we will have to travel further between runs to find fresh tracks, and you may get fewer runs in. If you come in March, the days are longer than in December, which will also affect the number of runs. Each run is about 1200 feet,on average.
Where and when do I go when I arrive?
You'll need to be at the BRC office at the base of Red Mountain ski resort at 0800. It is at 2-4430 Red Mountain Road, in the Red Robs condo building. If you are renting skis, you'll need to arrive ten to fifteen minutes earlier. Even if you have pre-arranged ski rental, you'll have to fill in and sign the ski rental form and waiver. You'll sign your waivers and you can self-drive or we can take you by bus out to our snowcat staging area. If you are traveling in from Nelson or points west for the day, you may arrange to meet us directly at the staging area. From the Nancy Greene Junction of highways 3 and 3B, travel 400m south on 3B towards Rossland. Then turn left (east) and go in about 500m to the parking area. If you want to meet here instead, it must be arranged in advance, and you must arrive by 0845.

Where will we go for our tours?
Our mountain bike guides will take you on the fun local trails in the area. For snowshoeing, our guides will show you our secret, untracked trails hidden within the resort!
What is the minimum and maximum size of the tour groups?
The minimum and maximum number of people varies for each tour offered. Please call one of our reservation agents to inquire about a specific tour.
What experience/fitness level do I need to have?
These tours are great as an introduction to snowshoeing or fat biking, so no level of experience is necessary. Fat bikers must have some experience riding a regular bike. A basic level of fitness is recommended, however the tours are customizable to your groups ability. For those wanting to try fat biking with little to no experience biking learn to bike clinics & lessons are available.
Where do the tours leave from?
All tours depart from the Get Lost centre at Red Mountain Resort, with the exception of our Museum tour which departs from the Rossland Museum.
Are the tours condition/weather dependent?
Our tours will run in nearly all weather, but may be cancelled due to very extreme conditions. Generally speaking, if Red Resort is open, our tours will run. In certain cases it may be necessary to reschedule a tour due to poor/low/unsafe snow conditions. Fat bikes are not just for snow, so are not affected by variable snow conditions.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations made more than 48hrs of program date will be 100% refundable
Cancellations made between 24-48hrs of program date will be refunded 75%
Cancellations made within 24hrs of program date will be non-refundable
Do I have to wear a helmet for fat biking? Can I wear my ski helmet?
Yes, BC law requires that people on bicycles wear helmets.
Yes, please wear your ski or snowboard helmet if you have one to keep your head warm and safe. Otherwise a bike helmet will be provided.
Where can I rent snowshoes and fat bikes?
You can rent fat bikes from the Get Lost centre and snowshoes from the Red Mountain Rentals shop.
Will I need ski poles for snow shoeing?
Yes as a safety precaution we recommend that you use poles. Poles help with balance in very rugged terrain or loose/deep snow, help provide some propulsion on steep uphills and can help you get up on your feet if you fall.
Will I need protective eyewear for either tour?
It is strongly advised to wear tinted eyewear to protect your eyes from snow glare, especially on blue bird days.

What’s so great about Fat Biking?
Aside from being a blast in the snow, they are great fun to ride on almost any trail, any time of the year. Thanks to their versatility and ability to conquer any terrain, they are fast becoming an all season choice and of course the only one for snow. The wide, low pressure tires provide a lot of cushion and traction, plus excellent floatation in snow and a lot more stability than any regular bike. Think of them as snowshoes for your bike. They roll much easier than you would expect, take a spin and you'll see why they are such a 'big' deal!
Where can I take the bike?
You can ride on roads and trails or anywhere the snow has been previously packed down. We will provide you with a map of the local bike trails with options from the wide Centennial trail, to more meandering and dynamic singletrack, or a route into town if you'd like. We can recommend the best loops and trails to suit your ability and fitness level.
Can I ride on the snowshoeing trails?
Yes, as with any shared trails we ask that you be respectful of other hikers, snowshoers or cross country skiers sharing the path.
What are the best conditions for Fat Biking?
Ideal conditions for winter are medium to hard packed snow. Even if the conditions are not perfect, you’ll still have a great time taking a Fat Bike out for a spin. After a heavy snow, it's important to check whether a trail has been packed down previously. Breaking trail is not ideal on a fat bike.
Do I have to wear a helmet for fat biking? Can I wear my ski helmet?
Yes, BC law requires that people on bicycles wear helmets.
Yes, you may wear your ski or snowboard helmet, although you may find it warm on a warmer day. There are also regular bike helmets available at the Get Lost centre. These worn with a thin toque underneath is a nice way to go on a warmer day, allowing you to remove it for the climbs and wear for the descents.
What clothing do you recommend wearing?
Dressing in layers, and carrying a pack to store those layers, is highly recommended for riding in winter. It is just as easy to overheat and sweat, as it is to under-dress and be miserable. Gloves are a necessity, and goggles or sunglasses are strongly advised to reduce glare and protect your eyes. A good rule of thumb: dress like you are going cross country skiing. You'll likely be warm enough without a thick, insulative jacket, depending on the temperature outside.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations or amendments made to your booking within 24 hours of your rental date incur a fee of 50% of what your rate would have been. For cancellations previous to 24 hours before the booking, there is no charge.
Do your Fat Bikes have gears?
Yes, a single 24 T chainring on the cranks paired with 10 speeds at the back.
Where do I pick up the bike from?
Bikes are rented from the Get Lost Adventure Centre.
Can we have a guide show us around?
Yes we offer guided fat bike tours at various times throughout the day.

Staff will also conduct daily screenings using the BV Covid-19 Health Check tool. If any self check questions are answered "yes", no service will be offered until after the staff member has received a negative Covid-19 test result.

The entire experience will last at least an hour (and it’s all exciting), while the duration of the flight itself will depend on the air of any given day: think minimum 10 minutes, maximum 30 minutes.
How old do I have to be to paraglide?
Anyone who is able-bodied between the age of 12-89yrs. The aircraft can only carry passengers between 80 and 240lbs. All passengers must be uninjured and able to ride the chairlift and ski at an intermediate level.

You will meet your pilot at the Get Lost Adventure Centre and go from there.

The aircraft can only carry passengers between 80 and 240lbs. All passengers must be uninjured and able to ride the chairlift and ski at an intermediate level.

Cancellations made prior to 48 hours before flight time will be fully refunded. Cancellations within 48hrs of flight time will be subject to a 50% charge.

Intermediate skiing skills are required to launch and land the glider in a controlled manner. You must be able to hold your ski’s parallel during the take-off and landing
Can I take a camera to use during the flight?
Yes, of course! Cameras should be tethered to your jacket with a few feet of thin cord. A dropped camera will not survive. Also, remember that winter flying is cold –bare hands will freeze quickly: practice using your camera with gloves on. HINT: licking your gloved finger will make your touchscreen recognize it.
How should I dress for the flight?
Dress as you would for skiing that day. If it is a particularly cold day, overdress. The glider moves at a steady 38-42km/h so there will be a similar amount of wind to skiing medium-fast.
Do I need skis?
YES. Skis are required to ride the lifts and also make take-off and landing easier. LEAVE your poles behind however: they will just get in the way.
Can I snowboard and fly?
Unfortunately no. Launching and landing on a snowboard is too awkward and poses safety risks.
