On the slopes

If you ski Red Mountain in Canada, you are on the site of the first World Cup race ever held in Canada. Known for it's treelined pistes, skiing and snowboarding is superb. With two mountains - Red, best for beginners, and Granite Mountain, which has more challenging slopes, the longest run, Long Squaw, is four kilometres. There are 83 trails between them falling almost 900m, and the eight lifts, which include two high-speed quads, can carry up to 10,700 people per hour. On a powder day - the conditions are utterly superb!

Off the slopes

Accommodation for Red Mountain ski resort is actually in the town of Rossland, a mix of hotels, motels, condos, bed-and-breakfasts and guest homes. There's plenty of good restaurants on the slopes, while Rafter's Lounge and Gypsy at Red, both in Rossland, provide the après-ski. When you are tired of the slopes you will find that other activities abound, including ice-fishing, ice-skating, mountaineering, sleigh riding, snowmobiling, skidooing and tubing.
