Cross-Country Skiing
Cross-Country skiing (Dave Heath photo)
Take a break from RED Mountain's slopes and head across the highway for a day of cross-country skiing on an extensive network of trails.
Ski along the very routes once traversed by Canadian Olympic team member, George Grey, the first cross-country skier from BC to win a medal on the World Cup Circuit.
Black Jack Trails
Approximately 40km/25mi of trails are maintained by the Black Jack Cross Country Ski Club. There is a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain here, with all trails groomed for classic and skate technique. Many trails wind through the forest, with a few good viewpoints along the way.
Begin at the warming hut and head out along a fairly level section to a large meadow. From here, trails head uphill through the woods and follow the western perimeter of the ski area, circling back to the meadow once again.

Another option is down to the bottom of the hill – followed by a long climb back up to a second warming hut in the middle of meadow. A third hut, Gibbard's Cabin, is located near the biathlon range in the northwestern extremity of the area. For something special, go for a night ski and enjoy a candlelight dinner at one of the warming huts, catered by Le Petite Fromage.
The Black Jack Trails are located off Highway 3B, approximately 3km/2mi north of Rossland, just north of the RED Mountain Resort turnoff.
Equipment Rentals
Cross-country ski rentals are available from Red Sports at the base of RED Mountain.
