Red Mountain
Rossland, BC Canada (Just north of the border)
Red Mountain is located in the interior of the province of British Columbia. It sits just 10 minutes north of the Canada/US border and only 5 minutes from the quaint town of Rossland. Red Mountain is actually made up of two mountains, Red and Granite, which provide 1,585 skiable acres amidst the resort's total 4,200 acre area. Both mountains are skiable 360 degrees around. That means you can choose from a virtually endless number of runs with each descent! In addition to Red's famous runs, Red Mountain offers Ski/Snowboard Terrain Park - a beginner area and a cros country and snowshoe loop.
Mt Spokane

Downhill skiing and snowboard runs are available as well as night skiing.
Phoenix Mountain
Grand Forks, BC Canada
The hill has a vertical of 800 ft and the nine runs range from beginner to some expert. A T-Bar services the main hill and a rope tow is on the beginner slope.
