With 87 cut runs, an 884 meter (2900 foot) vertical drop, the largest terrain park in the West Kootenays., and an annual snowfall of 300 inches, Red Mountain Resort certainly has something for everyone. The mountain offers 15% beginner, 40% intermediate and 45% expert terrain, spanning everything from ... corduroy groomers to unmatched tree-skiing. The friendly locals and staff are well known, and more than happy to guide you around to their favourite spots…as long as you don’t give away their best-kept secrets! You can spend the entire day on Red Mountain itself, or move over to Granite, the larger of the two peaks for some adventuring. Many believe that a full day in Paradise is not to be missed, and with the back-mountain Paradise lodge there to serve you, why not!
After leg-burners and powder expeditions, relax in the locals’ favourite, Rafters, located in just that; the rafters of the base lodge. Take in the stories that surround you and the historical photos of Western Canada’s original Ski Resort. But be prepared for another day of epic skiing whether you are with your family, friends or just enjoying the sunshine and snow on your own. Read more

Red Mountain Reviews & Tips (3)
We spent two days at Red Mountain fighting the thickest fog we have ever encountered on a ski hill. The Snow was soft and concrete-heavy...which made any of the famous tree skiing almost impossible without a snowboard. There are no High-Speed lifts - everyone had the same reheased line for the reasoning..."powder management". Another rehearsed line - "you should have waited to come until March (it was March). "Ski-In, Ski-Out", means a 10-15 minute death-march every morning to the ski hill...check out your accomodations very carefully. The mountain guides are great and were able to get us around even with the 2 foot visability. The Ski school folks were friendly and helpful. Lunch at the Paradise lodge was the best I've ever had at a ski hill - Rob the chef was great and kept everyone laughing and happy. The award winning base lodge bar (Rafters) was very fun and the staff excellent - just double check your tab at the end of the night...I suggest paying as you go/drink just to keep everything "jake"

Nice glade skiing off several runs down to Paradise Chair after mid-day sun has a chance to soften crusty snow a little. In fact, the trees provide the best snow on most parts of the hill, especially the left side of Red Chair. Loved dropping off Buffalo Ridge between Motherlode chair and Main Run. The grill at base provides surprisingly good food. The sunny outdoor deck and a beer make it perfect. NIce, compact mountain.

The most terrain of Red Mountain is expert only. Some of the best & steepest tree skiing I have ever seen. The best part is that wherever you ski or board, you always end up on the trail bringing you back down to the bottom. The hole mountain is set up for 360 D skiing/riding. I am an expert skier & snowboarder, but I would say this is a skier's mountain. Have fun!
