Red Mountain Resort - the best lift-accessed gladed tree skiing in the world - mix a few days at the resort with a few days of cat skiing, you're staying at the resort anyway

Redstone Golf Resort - Cat skiers also tend to be golfers.  Come back in the summer and enjoy the newly redesigned Redstone course.  If you like it so much you want to move there, let me know.'

Trail Aquatic Centre - a good activity during your rest days, the indoor pool, waterslide, hot tub, steam room, and fitness centre is in Trail, only a 15 minute drive down the hill, and a very nice facility

Whitewater - We think that a perfect week would be 2 or 3 days at Red, with slopeside lodging, 3 days of cat skiing at Big Red Cats, and a day skiing at Whitewater ski resort, followed by dinner and last evening overnight stay in Nelson.  A great ski area and very picturesque, excellent snowfall, and only an hour away.  We can arrange a great ski safari package including cat skiing, and lifts and lodging at Red and Whitewater.
