RED Mountain Resort - Rossland, British Columbia

Très belle montagne. Du beau ski de haut calibre mais accessible à tous. Neige naturelle à 95% du site, station très « rustique » mais tellement agréable. Chaises non debrayables les remontées sont parfois un peu longues mais ca vaut l’attente 🙂

Station de ski incroyablement fantastique. Une des plus belle montagne que j’ai fait de ma vie. Aucun acahlandage et beaucoup de poudreuse sèche. Le Paradis !!!

Some of the best snow I have experienced. Powder at its beat! The mountain has lots of variety. Tons of glades and terrain for experienced skiers. Loved it! The atmosphere is also very laid back and the staff and the resort has a very friendly attitude. You don't feel they are after you at every moment to ding you like other ski resorts, such as Whistler for instance!

Alright, listen up, snow bunnies and daredevils alike. I just returned from a "relaxing" ski trip to Red Mountain, and let's just say my definition of "relaxing" has been permanently altered.

**Pros:**

No crowds, just pure, unadulterated terror:** Forget lift lines, you'll be too busy questioning your sanity to notice.

Leg day? More like leg decade. Prepare for the quad-burning workout of your life. Every run is a masterclass in endurance... and survival.

Views that'll make you forget you're about to plummet: The scenery is stunning, assuming you can keep your eyes open while navigating a minefield of moguls and cliffs.

Authentic "old school" experience:By "old school" I mean "they haven't touched this place since the 1970s, and honestly, I'm not sure they should."

Unparalleled bragging rights: "Yeah, I skied Red Mountain." Watch as your friends' jaws collectively hit the floor.

**Cons:**

The "easy" runs are basically black diamonds in disguise: I suspect they use a different grading system, perhaps one based on how likely you are to encounter a bear.

"Grooming" is a loose term: I think they just send a herd of particularly aggressive snowshoe hares out there.

The lodge is charmingly rustic... if rustic means "held together by duct tape and the sheer will of the bartender": The food is hearty, and you'll need the calories to keep from shivering.

"Wildlife encounters:** I saw a moose that looked like it was judging my skiing ability. It was right.

My ski instructor was a local who just shouted "SEND IT!" and pointed down the mountain: Helpful.

**Overall:**

Red Mountain isn't for the faint of heart. It's a place where legends are forged and knees are destroyed. If you're looking for manicured slopes and hot cocoa by a roaring fire, go somewhere else. If you want to test your limits and earn some serious street cred, Red Mountain is your mountain. Just remember to bring your A-game, a healthy dose of fear, and maybe a satellite phone. You know, just in case.

Honestly my favorite ski resort experience I've ever had. The snow is absolutely fantastic and there is so much skiable terrain. The best part about RED though is the minimal amount of people. Throughout my entire 1 week stay there were almost no lines at any of the lifts.

Hit it on great snow days, awesome conditions. Friendly locals and welcoming staff. Could use an update on lifts an some concerns about developing a mine in the natural areas.

Despite warm Spring weather, this was an amazing mountain. Lots of terrain, incredible views, and friendly vibe. We can't wait to go again with powder!

This was our first visit and chose to ski with a mountain host to get to know the mountain better. BEST DECISION ever! Shout out to Peter, Dave, and especially Mike for showing us the mountain and taking us places we would have otherwise missed.

Foodwise, we enjoyed a delicious classic smoky at Paradise Lodge and great tacos at Flying Phil's at the Topping Creek Lift.

We found the guest services to be friendly and helpful as well.
