What Skiers Say About Red Mountain

Red Mountain attracts predominantly advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders seeking steep, natural terrain and extensive tree skiing. Reviewers consistently highlight minimal lift queues, abundant space with few crowds, and reliable powder conditions, though some note inconsistent snow years with rain events. The resort appeals to those prioritising terrain quality over modern infrastructure, with multiple mentions of slow, older lifts. Accommodations range from the Josie Hotel at the base to town options in nearby Rossland, about 10-15 minutes away. The overall vibe is described as relaxed, authentic, and community-oriented rather than polished or corporate.

The mountain is huge, hard to get a grasp for really how large it is. The travel to get to this mountain is quite long, but once you arrive everything you could need it right there

I work at this resort and have been to many in canada and Europe over the past few years. What it lacks up for in food on mountain and lift speed it makes up for in diversity in rideable terrain almost zero lift lines/wait time and a solid price with an awesome community. The local grocery store of rossland is also hands down the best stocked in canada. To top it off has one of the best snow bases in canada for the 24/25 season.

The amount of space you have to yourself here is unbelievable. Never a line at the lifts and no traffic on the hill. There are no high speed lifts but I didnt even notice. Great terrain for everyone. 10/10 recommend

The snow at Red Mountain has been the best in years. Lots of epic powder days over the holidays. Short lines, and a great family/locals atmosphere.

Red Mountain has won several ski magazine awards for a reason - it is definitely a top resort in North America. The best part is the lack of crowds, along with short chairlift lines. My children all learned a lot from Reds ski school and are now excellent skiers. There is a wide variety of terrain, including everything from great beginner runs to advanced trails. I highly recommend a visit to Red Mountain Resort to anyone looking for a great ski destination!

One of the best hills I've boarded. So many areas to get into the trees and rarely do you get stranded as most tree area funnel back to groomed runs. Lines were short most of the time. Snow was great! Highly recommended

Red was an amazing discovery during a ski trip in 2023. The conditions were great, and the mountain also offers free guides to help you explore the mountain as a first timer. What a great initiative!!

We were there on an icy day sadly. It rained a day of two ago prior to our arrival and ruined the snow. Just like all the other resorts in interior BC, Red is known for its champagne powder but it escaped us that day. We were planning on skiing for two days but have to resort to sightseeing on the second day. The town of Rossland is about 10 minutes drive so theres a lot of amenities available. I look forward to go back to Red on a glorious day.

Red mountain is excellent for most riders and skiers. It's best riding in mid winter, beginning and end of season it can be quite wet and icy. Overall has a great mix of terrain and snow for the region. It has many areas that are fun to explore and well patrolled usually.

This was my first time at Red mountain it was definitely more challenging than my previous experiences, because this is a bigger mountain, but the views are beautiful ️.

We did this as an extended family trip and it was very fun to be able to come back to our hotel and have space to hangout with everyone.

We hope this become an annual tradition.

This is a tiny resort packed with alpine attitude. With just 2 lifts going up the cone shaped mountain, on paper it doesn't look much. In reality it's an off piste paradise. You can ski off the top in any direction and you'll always come back to the track that wends it way down and brings you back to the chair. The local town is a foodie paradise with plenty of choic of excellent restaurants and bars. We stayed at Angela's B&B. The welcome here was fabulous if slightly wacky. Red Mountain is off the tourist trail but Pounder Hounds should ski here at least once. You may feel like you've turned the clock back but the experience will be one to talk about n years to come.
