This was my first storm chasing tour. While I have always had an appreciation for Mother Nature and what she can produce, the main reason I went on this tour was because my best friend couldn't stop bragging about it and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I can hand on heart say that this was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Beyond stunning supercells, lightening, hail, dust storms... No tornados this time but I was in no way disappointed. A truly fantastic experience that had me smiling and excited from the moment I woke up until the moment I crawled into bed. I 100% intend on coming back to do another tour in 2021 (already have big plans for 2020).
Vehicle review:
The van was super comfy, even for those with long legs. Window seats for everyone, a monitor in the back so we could follow along with the radar and forecasting, plenty of room for snacks, WIFI and we were able to charge our electronics too. Being a small van (4 guests) made it feel like a very personal tour.
Tour guide review:
Erik and Colt were amazing! They got us on the best storms of the day, and their passion and excitement was utterly contagious. They were always willing to answer my stupid questions, and explained things in ways that made it easy to understand. On our last day of the tour there were absolutely no storms to chase, and upon finding out that at 27 years old I had never touched snow, the decision was made to head up to a just-opened mountain pass to make my dream come true. If that's not great customer service, I don't know what is!
