 The story of Red Mountain, and how a mining territory was converted into one of the great undiscovered ski destinations of the world, is really astory about teamwork and community support. It is about an avid group ofskiers who drew from the resources in their community, and the companiesthey worked for (namely Cominco), and used good old-fashioned initiativeand elbowgrease to achieve a vision which, when examined fifty years later,almost seems impossible.
Renowned for its bountiful powder and varied terrain, Red Mountain is paradise for skiers and boarders alike. Choose from over 83 runs on two mountains that will take you down treed slopes, wide-open groomers, or steep, powder-filled bowls. With over 1200 acres, and 2900 vertical feet, there's lots to explore.
