Ski RED Mountain Resort

Rossland, British Columbia

Description

110 runs across 3 mountains, all with great skiing and a friendly, authentic vibe.

There’s something delightfully old-school about RED. Show up, park where there’s room and get going from the pretty basic base area. Don’t stop skiing until your legs do.

Highlights for us included Powderfields, Ledges, Captn Jacks, and Beer Belly — as well as the “Poochies Trees” off the Red Mountain chair. It’s easy to see why the locals here can rip. Wherever you are on the mountain, you’ll find cliff bands and kickers, and someone sending it HARD. With 3,850 skiable acres and buckets of powder every year, the days here can be the ultimate steep and deep skiing.

Be sure to also check out their inbounds cat skiing ($10 a ride) and the brand new boutique hotel The Josie, as well as a new hostel at the base area.

The hike up Toad Mountain provides a great view over Nelson and it's surrounding mountain peaks.

Backcountry Ski at Powder Creek Lodge

Ask most people about the mountains of eastern British Columbia and they'll likely think you mean the Canadian Rockies. But mention the Purcell Mountains and you're more than likely to get a blank stare back at you. And that's a good thing.The Purcell Mountains in British Columbia run parallel to the Canadian Rockies to the west. They are little known outside of the Northwest. But it is a huge ...
