Unlocking RED.
The First-Timer’s Guide to All of RED’s Glory

Making your first your best.

Your friends at RED Mountain, in Rossland BC, love to take in the smiles of new guests after their first day on our hallowed slopes or after their first snowy hot tub on the deck. For us, it’s like experiencing our own “first time” here over and over again. For 2021/22, we put together this little video “cheat sheet” to help you feel like one of our friendly locals in no time flat.
Now say after me: “TOQUES”; “KOOTS”; “SPICY CAESAR”…



Local Legends
Do RED Like a local
RED isn’t just a stellar place for this year’s powder pilgrimage. Far from it. We pride ourselves on offering a true adventure for every guest, regardless of how brave or bold or outgoing they might think they are.

Get Lost Adventure Centre
Get Lost Adventure Centre is your one-stop shop for trying something new. Whether you want to try riding a Fat Bike through icy berms in the parking lot—not recommended—or you want to wet a line winter fishing in cold, clear Canadian waters, Get Lost will get you out there in-style and on-budget.

Free Snow Hosts
Snow ghosts are trees that have been blasted with snow and bent over to look like pale monsters from your imagination. Snow Hosts are friendly, back-of-my-hand RED locals who love to share their favourite runs and chili spots. You can hang out with these hilarious alpine encyclopedias for free dollars and free cents, seven days a week, and you’re a big dummy if you don’t.

Local Things To See & Do
Rossland is a world class mountain town full of Gold Rush ghosts, hilarious history, adventurous families, and modern marvels. While we have a sacred duty to hold back a few secrets you have to discover on your own, we have compiled this list of things to look at and get after during your unforgettable visit to the Kootenays. We hope you have as much fun checking them off as we did “researching” them.
