Red Mountain – Canada

Bradley Hamblin at Red Mountain

The second resort we visited was Red Mountain, staying in the nearby town of Rossland. The elevation is higher than Fernie and the snow even at town level was a lot deeper, we arrived to a fresh coating of powder over the trees and houses. Unfortunately thenext morning the weather set in a rain plagued us again, though it was snow at higher elevations.

The Red Mountain Grey chair was closed so in instead they were running a free snow cat service up part of the mountain, try getting that in Europe! There was a half hour wait for the cat so various games involving digging holes in the snow developed, I dug myself a nice little snow shelter.

The house we rented didn’t have enough beds for everyone (our fault), but it did have a basement with table football and air hockey.
