Deep in the heart of Western Canada's legendary helicopter-skiing country, Red
Mountain Resort provides the kind of skiing experience rarely found anymore.
Red Mountain is one of the oldest ski resorts in Canada. Nestled in the
Monashee Mountains in southern British Columbia, the town of Rossland began
its life as a gold-mining town. Now, the slopes surrounding the town draw avid
skiers and snowboarders to its steep terrain and especially to its backcountry
areas. The resort offers a "ski anywhere" terrain policy opening up some of
the best off-trail tree skiing in North America.
The resort includes two mountains, Granite and Red Mountains, covering 1,685
acres of skiable terrain. This place is heaven for experts. One-third of its
88 named trails are available for skiers and riders. The resort offers a vertical drop of 880 meters (2,900 feet).
15% of the runs are rated for beginners while 40%of the resort's trails are marked for intermediates and 45% for advanced and expert skiers and riders.
In addition to downhill skiing and snowboarding, winter visitors enjoy
snowmobiling, backcountry touring, and cross-country skiing (25 kilometers/16
miles of trails).
The town of Rossland itself is small and quiet. It doesn't have a resort feel
to it, but rather boasts the authenticity of a real town with long-time
residents. The resort's crowd-free runs and some of the most extreme terrain
in the world invites anyone with a taste for adventure to grab their skis and
snowboards and head for Red Mountain.
