Skiing & Snowboarding

LEGENDARY MOUNTAINS, LEGENDARY SNOW

Skiing on RED Mountain often marks a visitor's first experience with the Rossland area. And nothing could be a better representation of what the Kootenays are really about: With 300``/7.6m of annual snowfall, wide-open groomers, epic vertical (2,919ft/890m!), in-bounds cat-skiing ($10/run!), 360-degree descents, a rich tradition, and – phew! — the BEST tree runs in BC, it's no wonder The New York Times voted RED and Rossland ``#8 Best Place in the World to Visit in 2013.`` Other accolades include #1 in Powder Magazine's ``Ski Town Throwdown,`` and ``Most Underrated Resort`` by Skiing.

RED RESORT - BY THE NUMBERS

Red, Granite, Grey, and Kirkup mountains are all impressive in their own rights, but taken in sum and dosed with a heaping helping of pow, and a mere sprinkling of people, makes the whole experience downright, down-home spiritual. You will be glad you came here, heart on your sleeve, banjo on your knee. Whatever you’re into for downhill sliding, our local resort has got you covered.

And RED recently got even radder. The long-time favourite of powder-hounds and fall-line aficionados continues to climb through the big leagues with yet another addition of terrain for its guests to recreate on. The Topping Chair expansion adds to RED Mountain’s stature, putting it in the Top 10, size-wise, for North America, with total skiable acreage at 3,850.

SO MUCH MORE...

High performance rentals? You bet. Terrain park? There is one, but it plays second fiddle to natural terrain. Take a look around! There are two fully serviced day lodges (Base and Paradise), and RED has the best après ski bar in Western Canada. (It’s called Rafters and it’s where you go to eat nachos amidst steaming base layers and sunburns).
