Big Red Cats - Goes to venus
5th new skiing and riding mountain opened in 4 years
Big Red Cats today announced the opening of its 5th mountain for skiing and riding, which will add about 20 new advanced to expert runs.
In addition to the new “Mt Venus”, Big Red Cats has also opened another 20-30 runs on adjacent Mt Neptune, Pluto, and Mackie for this winter, with the addition of 20km of new snowcat roads and extensive glading.
This opens Big Red Cats’ 5th Mountain in 4 years - a new mountain with 2,000 skiable acres (about the size of Aspen Mountain) each year.
Big Red Cats president Kieren Gaul said “building out on Mt Venus is crazy – we had to hike in for 2.5 hours each morning run the chain saw for 5-6 hours – and then hike out again for another 2.5 hours. But we are stoked to be able to offer the new terrain to our guests.”
Gaul also said that this fall that they are “glading about 50 runs, which will make the skiing at Big Red Cats that much more fun and safe”.
Gaul said “I am really happy – the numbers now say it all; 5 mountains, 4 snowcats, 250 runs. Big Red Cats has really come of age and now offers some of the best cat skiing and riding on the planets” (3 of their mountain are named after planets, Neptune, Pluto, and Venus)” “Another sure sign that we have grown up is that we have been inundated this fall with resumes of guides that want to work with us”
Big Red Cats is based in Rossland BC, just north of legendary Red Mountain BC, long known for its outstanding tree skiing. Big Red Cats operates in the same range as Red but has about 5 times the area.
Big Red Cats will be commencing its 4th season in 2008/2009 and is one of the largest cat skiing operations in the world, running up to 3 passenger cats per day with guests. Big Red Cats is the only cat skiing operation in BC to offer separate expert, advanced, and intermediate snowcats.
