Another amazing BC resort without the crowds and terrain to rival any major resort. Huge acreage with incredible amount of expert terrain with perfectly spaced trees. The powder lasts for days. It’s classic old school mountain with fixed grip lifts and old mountain charm.

My family spent a week in Rossland , we stayed at the prestige lodge and vrbo. Both were 12mins to the ski lifts, both were excellent. The town is very rustic and easy to navigate. Red Mountian ski resort have lodging on the hill. We eat and drank at the Josie hotel. Very nice service and food. We rented some skis for my daughter which was easy to do on hill. The ski hill was very low visibly the entire time we were there and the snow base was very low for that Mountian . Lots of rain Nov and December. One member of my group couldn’t fly in all week due to the fog. That said , there was very little few people skiing and we had the hill to our selves. The tree skiing saved us , great pitch and well spaced , gave us references to where the mountain began ended and the sky began. I used my Ikon pass which was easy to use. Walked right on to lifts. The lifts were all the old style undetachable, so they were slow compared to lake Louise lifts. I enjoyed the skiing , their worst snow was comparable to some of the best snow on the east side of the Rockies.
