Surrounded by the Monashee Mountains in the British Columbian city of Rossland, Red Resort is 8km from the Canada/USA border and the first/last stop on the iconic Powder Highway (AKA Route 95A). Its former life was as a mining territory after gold-copper ore was discovered in the area. The Scandi miners who came to work here brought their love of skiing with them, setting up a ski club and hosting the first downhill competition in 1896. Snow spots have played a huge role in local life ever since.

Accommodation is split between the resort itself and Rossland town - depending on whether you’d rather wake up on the mountainside or stay near the restaurants, bars and activities in central Rossland. A free shuttle goes between the two and both have their merits, but if you’re hedging towards staying in the town it might be worth hiring a car to make access to the slopes even easier.

The nearest international airports are Spokane, WA (2.5 hours’ drive) and Kelowna, BC (3.5 hours’ drive). The Castlegar and Trail Airports are even closer (within 30 minutes) and have daily connections to and from Vancouver and Calgary.

What's the ski area like in Red Mountain?

It might be famed as somewhere to stop on the tour of the Powder Highway, but there’s more than enough here to make it worth sticking around for a while. Seven lifts serve the ski area, which covers over 2877 skiable acres with 110 runs in total. Beginners can get to grips with the basics on the magic carpet slope and the gentle runs from the Silverlode chair - progressing to a top to bottom descent from the Grey Mountain summit via Long May You Run, Rino’s Run and Easy Street. For intermediates, blues like Cory’s Run stream down Grey Mountain and the Paradise Basin. Experts will find tests in the form of the steep chutes on The Chute Show (we like Helter Smelter) and the black double diamonds on Granite Mountain. A brilliant way to get to know the area is through the complimentary Snowhost tours which usually set off twice a day from the base area.

The scope for backcountry touring is massive, with Mount Roberts and White Wolf Ridge being favourite destinations.

This is one of the best places to have a go at cat skiing – Pisten Bully’s take you up Mt Kirkup where incredible in-bound open runs and some 200 acres of glades and 1600ft of vertical await. The Cat usually runs between 10:30am and 2:30pm (of course, weather depending), taking you to a mix of open runs, tree-lined slopes and steep terrain.

When it comes to freestyling, the Rockstar Park has dozens of features for different levels (find it in the base area basin).

For some after-hours action, night skiing usually takes place on Thursdays from January to March.

If you prefer cross country skiing, head a couple of minutes up the highway to the Black Jack Ski Club, where 40km of classic and skate skiing trails loop around the landscape.
