Located above the old mining town of Rossland, nestled in the Kootenay Rockies is RED Mountain Resort, an unspoiled small-town resort with empty lift-lines and 8m of fluffy interior-BC powder falling every year.
Three huge mountains – Red, Granite and Grey – feature everything from wide-open groomers, powder-filled glades and powder bowls. You can ski fresh tracks for hours on the uncrowded peaks while Grey has spectacular 360-degree descents. You can even cat-ski a run for $10 on the mountain – how’s that for value?! There’s a fun, local après scene and some great dining options, with the best accommodations found on-hill or in nearby Rossland. But RED is very much about the skiing and friendly, welcoming vibes.
