A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I love RED!! The terrain is so fun and the vibes are casual and approachable. You don’t have to worry about big crowds, expensive shops or rude riders. Honestly such a gem.

Far from major airports but totally worth the trip for serious riders. My favourite mountain bar none.

RED has spoiled me for all other resorts. The massive terrain has something for everyone and you can find powder stashes a week after the last snowfall. It's not uncommon to find yourself alone with just you and your crew on a run. There's super easy access to even more slackcountry terrain including a super affordable pay-per-run cat ski operation from the top of Grey to Mt Kirkup. Even when the snow isn't the greatest, there is plenty of fun terrain to explore and chances are you will find some fresh tracks somewhere on this massive resort. The hostel at the base area is easily the best bang for your buck out of anywhere I have stayed in the past, just a short 2-min walk across the parking lot to the chairlift. This is a true core skier's mountain.

One of the best - maybe the best - resort in Canada. Unreal tree skiing, no crowds, great snow, super laid-back vibe with a cool ski town just a 5-min drive down the road w/ a free daily shuttle. Rafters bar is a great throw back to old school ski bars, the base lodge deck is total perfection during spring skiing. The overnight cabins on the backside of the mountain are unreal. This place is hard to beat...

Such a cool all-around resort. Great terrain, very inexpensive (especially food and drink on the mountain), lots of snow.

Had a wonderful trip. Rossland is an awesome little town. They had their winter festival while we were there. Great skiing. Nice long runs. A lot of expert terrain. Not much for restaurants, that place is for skiing and riding. Going back!!

I drove up from Spokane to take advantage of the freshies! It had just snowed some 55 inches in less than 48 hrs! Singles weren’t allowed because of the risk! I ended up teaming up with some teenagers and started skiing! The most snow I’ve ever skied! Couldn’t even see my skis for most of the day! After lunch I got separated from the group. After a couple more runs & looking at the map, I tried getting down the mtn! Not sure exactly what happened, but I got off the trail and snow was over my head! Luckily I was able to take my skis off and started crawling. Some three hrs later I crawled off the man! I was laying there in a pool of sweet in zero degrees F when an employee walked past me and asked me where I came from? I told him & he responded by saying that the man has been closed for two hrs! Skipped supper, headed to hotel & straight to bed! Would love to go back and hope the resort is able to survive!

No half pipe is the only critique I can think of but who cares with the infinite side country

Red Mountain exceeded our expectations. A scenic, under 3hr drive from Spokane made our travel from NYC w/ our 7yr old daughter very manageable. Our concerns of recent warm temps were quickly dissolved when it started snowing by 8am the first day on the lifts. 3 days & 16" + made for untracked & steeeeep lines down countless chutes & bowls, all filled w/ trees, both spaced & tight. When you tire of that, take a quick cat ride up to Mt Kircup. Its cheap & beats the 20min hike to some more of previously mentioned terrain. The warm weather effected the snow quality a bit. It made for some heavy, wet conditions, but that didn't deter us from getting our fill of untracked lines. A 2hr drive to soak in Ainsworth Hot Spring is well worth it, and we hear Whitewater is a great mountain, but we stuck to Red. Never leave snow to go find it elsewhere! Our daughter loves Red Mt & excelled beyond our believes in ski school. She logged more hrs on the mountain than anyone & had enough energy to take us for runs after we picked her up. If you haven't already, check out BC's Powder Highway & make a stop @ Red.

RED is seriously amazing. i've skied a lot of places and couldn't believe how fun this place was. If you love off-piste and tree skiing this is your dream-spot. Good intermediate terrain, beginners have a handful of options, super cheap lift tickets, and unreal advanced terrain with 360 degree descents. unheard of in a lot of places.
the new mountain expansion and chairlift to grey is AWESOME. and now $10/run cat skiing too! Rafters lounge gets wild for apres, everyone is super friendly (like for real) and the town is pretty incredible too - not to mention the award-winning brewery was one of the favorites.
Long story short, this place is quite the hidden gem.
