OPENING DAY UPDATE: December 11, 2019
Unfortunately mother nature just isnโt quite making it happen for us yet. Thursday Opening Day will be delayed as we wait to see what this next storm does coming in this week. A midweek status update will come when available.
RED MOUNTAIN: the last great, unspoiled resort
Located in Rossland, BC, 1st stop on Canada’s famous Powder Highway, fiercely independent RED delivers 3,850 acres of pristine skiing, putting us in the Top 10, size-wise, in N. America. With a new chairlift and 7 more runs over 300 additional acres on Topping Creek to streamline skier flow to Grey Mountain, this is the Year of RED. With 7.6m of annual snowfall, $10/run cat-skiing, a brand new boutique hotel and a modern hostel at the base, itโs no wonder The NY Times voted us (and our friendly locals) their โ#8 Best Place in the World to Visit.โ We also nabbed “Most Underrated Resortโ from Skiing. Wondering what โ#1 Most Acres Per Skierโ means? Fresh turns you don’t have to fight for.
Our numbers don’t lie.
Top 10 Total Skiable Acres in North America
At RED, visitors can choose from 110 runs spread across three stellar mountains that feature everything from wide-open groomers to steep, powder-filled glades. With more than 3,850 skiable acres and 890 meters (2,919 feet) of vertical terrain serviced by 7 total lifts, there is a lot to explore at RED. The abundant snow, friendly staff and locals, and the short lift lines are just a few reasons why our guests fall in love.
Not a number cruncher?
then take in the eye candy.
With 360 degree views of the infamous Kootenay Sea, the towns of Rossland and Trail as well as the beautiful Columbia River all from the mountain, those “scenic breaks” will be happening left and right – which we all know are simply just excuses to rest those legs, but thatโs ok with us. That’s what we’re here for.

GOLD GOT ‘EM HERE

Modern-day Rossland is that rare beast: A place of small town charm and big, big ideas. A real municipality at the base of a world-class ski resort. An historic downtown core with all mod cons, from gourmet espresso to book stores. And all of it is held together by the famously friendly locals and their commitment to making sure that Canadian Hospitality still means something. Find out all about Rossland ยป
