Red Mountain Ski Resort

Red Mountain Ski Resort is a forty-five minute drive from Christina Lake along a well-maintained highway corridor, no winding dirt roads to this ski area.

Two mountains make up the ski terrain which is accessed by three triple chairs, one double chair, and a t-bar. With over 1200 acres, and 2900 vertical feet, there is a lot to explore. The longest run is nearly five miles! It is an old-time ski area with an old time flavour. Visitors in the winter not only include the town population of Rossland and Trail, but many people come from around the world. All fallen in love with this little-known skier's paradise.

Along with fantastic terrain and deep snow, the hill boasts short lift lines, long vertical descents, and a network of over 89 established runs (over 80% of which is rated expert). Skiers and boarders can expect to share most runs with few others and will find their legs burning at the end of the day.

Red Mountain ski area is famous for its tree and glade skiing. It was recently rated the number one resort in the world for the hardcore skier or snowboarder by Snow Country Magazine. Skiing Magazine listed Red Mountain in its top ten powder skiing resorts of North America.

Phoenix Ski Hill

Phoenix Ski Hill is a great little ski hill that is only about a 45 minute drive west from Christina Lake.

This ski hill is great for a day of family fun with the kids or for the novice skiier or boarder. There are 10 runs (not including the backside) and about 800 feet elevation gain.

The hill is owned by a non-profit organization and run mostly by volunteers. There is a t-bar to get you to the top of the mountain and a tow-rope for the bunny hill. A warm chalet and concession await you at the bottom of the hill.

For inexpensive family fun this hill can't be beat.
