RED Mountain Resort is a ski resort in western Canada, located on Granite, Grey, Kirkup, and Red Mountains[2] in Rossland, a former gold mining town in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. RED Mountain is one of the oldest ski hills in North America, with a history dating back to the creation of the Red Mountain Ski Club (RMSC) in the first decade of the 1900s. RED Mountain is located in the Monashee Mountains just north of the U.S. border. Like other ski hills in the British Columbia Interior, it has a reputation for light, dry powder, with yearly snowfall of 750 cm (300 in).

RED Mountain Resort is known for having a variety of challenging expert terrain and for being geared towards intermediate and expert level skiers and riders.

The ski area's base elevation is 1,185 m (3,888 ft) above sea level and has 887 m (2,910 ft) of vertical. Its three main summits, Red Mountain, Granite Mountain, and Grey Mountain are serviced by six chairlifts, a T-bar, and a magic carpet and its fourth summit, Mt Kirkup, is in-bounds cat ski accessible (for just $10/run), all adding up to access 3,850 acres (15.6 km2) of skiable terrain on 119 marked runs.
