We went looking for fresh pow at Red Mountain. We found it.
We flew up to Spokane and rented an all-wheel drive RAV4 for the short drive up to Red Mountain, in interior British Columbia. We got a good package deal on resort lodging and lift tickets. It didn’t snow much in the month leading up to our trip, but a week before our arrival, it started dumping and didn’t let up. We had some great days at the resort, and Brian had an outstanding day cat skiing with Big Red Cats. Definitely a trip we’d repeat!
We got lucky with incredibly deep snow this time, with epic off-piste and cat skiing. Now that we know the place better, we’d plan to go earlier in the season if possible to increase our chances of hitting those conditions again. Red gets great snow, but the elevation is low, so that snow might not stay in great condition if it hasn’t snowed for a long time.
