Friends and I went to Big Red Cat skiing March 11 in the "expert" cat with Ben who was nice and G, who was not, as our guides. At first, I thought maybe it was me and "g" and I just didn't click. Well, hours later and after speaking with others in my cat, I found out it wasn't just me. Comments like "all I did was worry about doing something wrong" or "that guy hates his job" were common. Including from people on the trip I stumbled into at the bar later.
The way I would describe the experience was, picture the DMV (Dept of Motor Vehicles) operating a cat skiing company and then getting their grumpiest employee to "lead guide" the experience. I'll skip the poor food and run selection as some of those things can't be helped or aren't that important to me.
Bizarrely, and the reason I gave 2 stars, is I met another guide at the same bar I stumbled on to other (extremely) dissatisfied clients and he couldn't have been nicer. His name was Alex. I'd hate to hurt his prospects but I gotta be honest, for me, this experience was a dud. And, actually kinda bizarre. How hard is it for a guide to at least pretend to enjoy his job?
