Rossland/Red Mountain Ski and Snowboard Guide

Red Mountain delivers with tree skiing

ROSSLAND, BC — I was skiing with a group who had travelled to Rossland for the annual Winter Carnival, and we went powder-hounding through some of Red Mountain Resort's treed fall lines. The group kept remarking on the how we consistently found fresh lines and they had never seen a hill with such artfully trimmed tree lines. Red allows skiers and riders to carve lines without feeling like they are being flayed, and yet the aesthetics of the trees are still in tact. As an avid tree skier, this makes Red a haven.

Get stoked for the 2012 Rossland Winter Carnival

ROSSLAND, BC — Like many ski town residents, I continuously offer reasons why mine is the best. In Rossland, the snow is sublime (at Red Mountain Resort). The terrain defies classification. The town is only minutes from the lift (with my personal record being seven minutes from pulling out of my driveway to sitting on Red chair). But the crown jewel of the Rossland experience has to be the Winter Carnival.

Pamplona, Spain has its running of the bulls. New York has New Years in Time Square. But where else on Earth are you going to find a street-run bobsled course and men dressed in women's nightgowns hurtling down the street at 70 kph? Only at Rossland's 100 year-and-running Winter Carnival.
