THE BEAUTIFUL BACKCOUNTRY
Are you more of a self-starter keen on earning your turns? Do you like the suffering up prior to the euphoric down? It’s true that you can get yourself to the top of some pretty classy mountains in the Rossland Range, whether in the slackcountry off Red or through paths and channels less known. Locals are somewhat guarded when it comes to their stashes, but by connecting with the right people and having the right mindset, you can more than scratch the surface of what the Rossland Range has to offer. Come fully equipped, check your ego, get a map, and find some friends. There’s a lot of terrain out here, and it’s fully worthy of your respect and time.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE IN THE ROSSLAND RANGE
For folks seeking a more casual experience, day-use cabins built and maintained by the Friends of the Rossland Range are peppered around the local mountains and are linked together by self-set tracks. Bush skis and light-touring setups are the recommended mode of conveyance.
