Online Media Rossland (BC), Canada -In response to the record-low snowfall conditions throughout much of the U.S., Red Mountain Resort in Rossland is offering free lift passes to all U.S. residents for the next 30 days. “Despite the catastrophic snowfall conditions throughout the resort regions of the California Sierras, Lake Tahoe, Utah, Colorado, and other East Coast resorts, Red Mountain is continuing to deliver the goods – snow,” says an enthusiastic Howard Katkov, president and CEO of Red Mountain Resort. Red Mountain skiers enjoyed a powder day just last week.

Furthermore, Red’s 2,500-acre side-country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 http://www.redresort.com/mountain/stats/ Red Mountain Resort has been named one of the Top Ten Resorts of North America by Forbes Magazine, and is quickly becoming one of North America’s most sought-after mountain destinations.Red is only a ten minutes drive north of the Canada/US Border, a 2.5 hour drive from Spokane International Airport (Washington state) and 3.5 hour drive from Kelowna International Airport. Red is easily accessible from major airports from both Canada and the United States. The regional airports of Trail– a 20 minute drive, and Castlegar –a 30 minute drive also serve the mountain. At Red, visitors can choose from 88 runs spread across two stellar mountains that feature everything from wide-open groomers to steep, powder-filled glades. With more than 1,685 skiable acres and 880 meters (2,919 feet) of vertical terrain serviced by 6 total lifts, there is a lot to explore at Red. The abundant snow, friendly staff and locals, and the short lift lines are just a few reasons why guests fall in love with Red. Ski Canada has once again placed Red Mountain Resort’s trees, steeps and powder amongst the best in Canada. Along with this, Red’s Silverlode and Paradise areas offer plenty of wide-open groomed runs for beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g154940-d253182-Reviews-Red_Mountain-Rossland_Kootenay_Rockies_British_Columbia.html http://www.skinet.com/ski/resorts/2009/11/where-now-red-mountain-bc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
