Located above the former mining town of Rossland in the snowy Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, Red Mountain has a real reputation for its advanced and expert terrain.

Over 8m of snowfall lands here annually, meaning fresh tracks are on offer more often than not – and they stick around for longer here too owing to the lack of crowds.

To make the most of the terrain on the resort’s three mountains – Red, Granite and Grey – join Ski Club Freshtrack’s epic BC Powder Adventure, which also takes in cat skiing and time at the cult resort of Whitewater.

Pros and cons

Fantastic snow record and gets much less rain than Whistler
Gnarly terrain and great glade skiing
Lots of cat and heli skiing options nearby

Local slopes can be limited – combine your stay with another resort
Only slow lifts
Not a great deal to do away from the slopes

On the Slopes

At Red Mountain, visitors can choose from 119 runs spread across three mountains – namely the Red Mountain (1,590 m), the Grey Mountain (2,048 m) and the Granite Mountain (2,075 m) – that feature everything from wide-open groomers to steep, powder-filled glades. With more than 3,850 skiable acres and 890 metres of vertical terrain serviced by 7 lifts, there is a lot to explore.

Red Mountain has long had a strong reputation among powder hounds in search of challenge. It is the place to be on a powder day due to the amazing fall line tree skiing where advanced and expert skiers can seek out plenty of fresh powder. Advanced and expert skiers and boarders have a huge variety of slopes including cut piste, wide-open bowls, glades, tighter trees, and plenty of terrain features at their disposal. However, Red Mountain also offers plenty for beginner and intermediate skiers. There is an excellent area for beginners and intermediates on Granite Mountain, just above the accommodation at the base of the resort. Intermediates and beginners looking to progress should head to Red Mountain to tackle a collection of blues.

In the Resort

Although there has been some recent development at the base of the resort, the best place to stay is 4km away from the slopes in the old mining town of Rossland. Accommodation is really good value and the locals are very friendly, which adds to the appeal of this traditional Canadian town.
Attractions away from the slopes are relatively limited – this is a place very much about the skiing. Après is also generally quiet, but Rafters Pub at the base of the slopes has a good happy hour and can get lively after a powder day in particular.

Season Dates

Dates for the 2024/25 season are still to be confirmed; the season at Red Mountain typically runs from early December to early April – although conditions mean opening day wasn’t until 28 December last year!

Snow Overview

Canada

Updated 04/03

The Coastal Ranges sees cool-to-cold temperatures for much of this week, alongside steady flurries of snowfall (although not much to register on the snow stake). This will change as the weekend begins, when flurries intensify into steady snowfall bringing around 20cm over this period.

Inland, the BC interior and Rockies remains cool-to-cold throughout. For the Rockies, things will take a turn into the new week, as temperatures plummet and unsettled weather brings with it around 15cm, dumping overnight Sunday into Monday.

Cold temperatures over the St Lawrence give way to to mild and unsettled conditions, which will see rain move in into the weekend as the freezing line briefly soars; it will settle down again into the new week, albeit remaining mild.
