Unspoiled and keeping it real. This is a Powder Highway favourite. And terrain for everyone with the Topping Chair expansion.
Sitting in the heart of the Kootenay Rockies, RED Mountain Resort is the hidden jewel of BC's Powder Highway region. Located outside the former gold mining town of Rossland, BC, RED Mountain was founded in the early 1900s and is among the oldest ski resorts in North America.
In 2016, RED Mountain made the unique decision to buck the trend in mega-resorts and launch an equity crowdfunding campaign, allowing individual skiers to purchase a stake in the mountain, using the now-famous "Fight the Man, Own the Mountain" slogan.
The resort is known to cater primarily to intermediate to advanced skiers and riders, particularly backcountry and powder lovers. RED Mountain receives 7.6 meters of annual snowfall and offers the amazing feature of pay-per-run cat-skiing.
RED Mountain Resort is among the top 10 largest resorts in North America offering 3,850 acres of skiable terrain. The resort provides access to four mountains, spread across 119 runs and including almost 3,000 feet of vertical drop.
RED Mountain Resort has received many accolades from #8 in the New York Times' "46 Best Places in the World to Visit", to #1 Ski Town in Powder Magazine's "Ski Town Throwdown", to "Most Underrated Resort" and the "Best Ski Bar in North America".
