Red Mountain and the Rossland area have a range of activities including ski tours, family activities, adventure activities and some relaxing opportunities for those who just need a rest.
Red Mountain Cat Skiing
Big Red Cats is based at Red Mountain and offers great cat skiing nearby. This is a great powder hound activity with opportunities to sniff out plenty of fresh powder. This is a very slick and safety conscious operation, and they provide the flexibility of single or multi-day packages. It’s a “must do” but you’ll need to book well in advance as it sells out early.
