THE PERFECT RESORT TO GO ON A FAMILY SKI VACATION

Red mountain

A HIDDEM GEM IN CANADA

Red Mountain Ski Resort in Canada combines convenience with deep, dry snow and exciting, varied terrain. The ski area is considered by some as one of the last great undiscovered resorts where you can often enjoy uncrowded slopes. The resort is situated in the Kootenay region, just two hours from Spokane International Airport. In 2014 the resort expanded lift access to Grey Mountain, adding 403 hectares the total skiable hectares increased to 1127.

Intermediates and beginners alike will find even more terrain options on the Paradise side of the resort, making Red an incredible option for a family ski vacation, especially if younger children are just learning to ski, and parents are looking for some world-class powder skiing. 

The amazing strength of Red Mountain is the terrain for advanced and expert riders and the huge variety of slopes including cut piste, wide-open bowls, glades, tighter trees, and plenty of terrain features. The only limitation for advanced skiers and snowboarders is that it can be difficult to navigate the difference between the single and double black terrain because a lot of trails aren’t marked, and rock bands and cliffs aren’t well sign-posted. Thankfully there are amazing snow hosts that can take you on a tour to help you get oriented to the terrain.
