Red is a big mountain with a small town feel! I skied around Red Mountain on a bluebird day and sampled the diverse terrain. Red is a hidden jewel of the Kootenays with 3000 vertical feet of tree-skiing, wide open glades and fast groomers. Everyone is so friendly, their favorite colour is definitely red, and you will see that the views are truly unreal!

I
checked out the 2009 Canadian Open Freeskiing Championships at Red Mountain Resort in Rossland. Some of the best freeskiers from around the world ripped down the face of one of freeskiing's most challenging venues...Mt. Roberts!
These guys and gals went huge, dropping cliffs and entertaining us spectators. The athletes were judged on line choice, fluidity, technique, aggression and control. Make sure you visit Red Mountain Resort next year when this event is going on and watch these guys rip!
