RED MOUNTAIN
A BIG MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE WITH A SMALL TOWN VIBE
Red Mountain offers world-class skiing and snowboarding with no lift queues, empty pistes, and a fantastic friendly atmosphere. Rated by National

Canadian Mountain experience.
We are delighted to have teamed up with Mark Impey and Dawn Manning to offer this exciting season experience. Mark and his wife Dawn have been
running ski improvement and race camps at Red Mountain since 1996. Mark is the former Western programme director for the CSIA; he is a current
member of the CSIA ambassador team and represented the CSIA at Interski. Mark and Dawn bring the NONSTOP Ski & Snowboard course extensive
experience in organising improvement programmes, the highest standard of instructional staff, and an extensive knowledge of the Red Mountain
winter scene. They look forward to hosting you and showing you all that Red Mountain has to offer.
THE MOUNTAIN
Although virtually unheard of in Europe, Red Mountain enjoys a legendary status among
North America’s dedicated skiers and snowboarders. Opened in 1947, Red is one of Canada’s
oldest resorts and has a reputation as a powder heaven with some of Canada’s most exciting
terrain. This is a mountain that will push even the most experienced skiers and riders – Red has
produced more national team racers than anywhere else in the country!
The resort incorporates two mountain peaks, Red and Granite, both skiable 360 degrees around,
offering an awesome variety of lines down gladed tree meadows, wide open groomed pistes
and award-winning steeps. The skiing and snowboarding here is fun – there are banks, gullies,
trees and cliff drops all over the resort as well as a terrain park and a friendly laid back
mountain restaurant. In full view from the mountain summit extensive backcountry options
offer easily accessible fresh powder when the resort has finally been tracked.
THE TOWN
The attractive town of Rossland lies just three
kilometres from the resort and at an elevation
of 1023m is one of Canada’s highest settlements.
Once a booming gold mining centre, in winter
Rossland is a characteristic ski town whose
resident population of 4000 is supplemented
by travellers from all over the globe who come
to ride its infamous ‘steep and deep’ terrain. The
town has a relaxed, laid back scene and you will
quickly find yourself feeling part of this active ski
community. There are several quality restaurants,
bars and cafés as well as some excellent ski and
snowboard stores, gift shops, library, gym and
local swimming pool.
Although renowned for its steeps, Red also has a mellow side, with half of its terrain ranked
as intermediate, and has plenty of open bowls ideal for perfecting your technique. Because of
Red’s location in central British Columbia the mountain is renowned for its crowd-free pistes,
which means on a powder day there are always plenty of fresh lines to enjoy.
“RED MOUNTAIN IS AN AWESOME PLACE: DEEP
POWDER, GROOMED RUNS, TREE RUNS AND
BACKCOUNTRY. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED...?”
