About Red Mountain Resort Rossland

About Red Mountain Resort
Red Mountain Resort has been named one of the Top Ten Resorts of North
America by Forbes Magazine, and is quickly becoming one of North America’s
most sought-after mountain destinations.
Red is only a ten minutes drive north of the Canada/US Border, a 2.5 hour
drive from Spokane International Airport (Washington state) and 3.5 hour drive
from Kelowna International Airport. Red is easily accessible from major
airports from both Canada and the United States. The regional airports of Trail
– a 20 minute drive, and Castlegar – a 30 minute drive also serve the
mountain.
At Red, visitors can choose from 87 runs spread across two stellar mountains
that feature everything from wide-open groomers to steep, powder-filled
glades. With more than 1,685 skiable acres and 880 meters (2,919 feet) of
vertical terrain serviced by 6 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 guests fall in love with Red.
Ski Canada has once again placed Red Mountain Resort’s trees, steeps and
powder amongst the best in Canada. Along with this, Red’s Silverlode and
Paradise areas offer plenty of wide-open groomed runs for beginner and
intermediate skiers and snowboarders.
