M Red Mountain Resort

The site of what was once one of the world’s richest gold mines is now part of an alpine resort offering some of North America’s most challenging lift-served runs. Facilities on the mountain have certainly improved since the days of Olaus Jeldness, but Red Mountain (250/362-7384 or 877/969-7669, www.redresort.com) is no megaresort. Nevertheless, the skiing and boarding are still world-class. While three mountains provide opportunities for all ability levels, the resort holds most appeal for experts—and as any local will tell you, the advertised 1,080 hectares (2,700 acres) of terrain doesn’t do justice to the opportunities for skiing in the backcountry. The heart-stopping face of Red Mountain is the star of the show. But adjacent Granite and Grey Mountains offers a vertical rise of over 900 meters (3,000 feet) each and almost unlimited intermediate, expert, and extreme skiing and boarding, mostly on unmarked trails through powder-filled glades. Beginners are catered to with a magic carpet while shredders will gravitate to the terrain park. Lift tickets are adult $72, senior $47, child under 12 $38, 6 and under ski for free.
