The ski area of Red Mountain Resort is made up of two mountains; Red and Granite, which provide 1,685 skiable acres amidst the 4,200 acres at Red Mountain Resort. Both mountains are skiable down all sides giving much more variety than the number of lifts would suggest. Ranked 13th in North America by Skiing Magazine, Red Mountain Resort is Canada's hidden gem.

Visitor Reviews of Red Mountain Resort
Sandy from Canada writes:
Red Mountain is one of the last hidden shred spots in the World! It might take some time to get there, but once you do ~ you'll have no regrets..... imagine days of untracked pow...rare to find ice...drop 360 degrees off of 2 mountains...Red and Granite.
Unlimited challenge even for the most gnarly shredder...never a lift line, loads of on mountain luxury accommodation, and 'Rafters Bar' will keep you rock'n all night long! Walk or x-country ski into Rossland and stop at 'Rock Cut Pub' along the way for a pint and some of their famous Billy Wings. Be sure to check out 'Le Petite Fromage' a fun filled nordic ski or snowshoe moonlight adventure filled with fondue and friends.
There is always something new and exciting to do at Red Mountain....that is if you have anything left in the tank after the shred.
