  My wife and I visited Red in December of 2005 and it still is the best resort we've been to. All the legends saying it has steep, deep runs that are virtually empty are true, sadly the one about the old lifts is also true, but not a problem. We saw more snow than we've ever had before, the very best Christmas gift we could want.

  It's well worth the trip, make the effort you will not be let down this is a must see for a true snow fan either boarder or two planker .......

  Red Resort is one of the best ski hills in Canada. It's one of the oldest and is home to the richest gold mine in Canadian history. With glading programs in place for over 100 years, the tree skiing is unparalleled (sp?) for the north american experience. The terrain is 90% expert/advanced; however, an amazingly progressive beginner area will have you ripping and shredding on the bigger stuff faster than you think. This mountain teaches you and keeps on giving. A must-ski for all who love the snow.

  Red is a great hill. There is much in the way of short off piste routes to take. It should be made part of a tour of BC Canada Ski trips. I was there for their big dump in Jan 2005 and I must say it was out of hand for lift serve. Currently the management is trying to build up the condo angle, but with the hill five minutes from the town of Rossland, it seems weird. Super backcountry touring is all around the resort. My recommendation is to make a resort tour and hit Whitewater, Kicking Hourse, Ferny, Big White, and Schwietzer (us) and skip the Banff resorts that have snow but no soul. The bc hills are core, and you should think hard about avoiding the super Banff resorts, especially if you been to Banff before. Also, hit 49 degrees north a few hours south for a day at the heart of skiing.

  Red is in the middle of nowhere, half way between Calgary and Vancouver. That explains why it's so quiet but the hill is superb. Chairlifts are on the slow side but that's only because of the vert they have to climb. The locals only tend to ski on powder days so it's quiet most of the time. We missed one of the legendary dumps... 53cm fell the day we left! Don't expect nightlife, go for the skiing and boarding.
