Red Mountain is one of the oldest ski hills in North America, with a history dating back to the creation of the Red Mountain Ski Club (RMSC) in the first decade of the 1900s. Red Mountain is located in the Monashee Mountains just north of the U.S. border. Like other ski hills in the British Columbia Interior, it has a reputation for light, dry powder, with yearly snowfall of {{convert|750|cm|in|-1|abbr=on}}. Red Mountain Resort is known for having a variety of challenging expert terrain and for being geared towards intermediate and expert level skiers and riders. The ski area's base elevation is {{convert|1185|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} above sea level and has {{convert|887|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} of vertical. Its three main summits, Red Mountain, Granite Mountain, and the newly added Grey Mountain are serviced by five chairlifts, a T-bar, and a magic carpet to access {{convert|2682|acre|km2|1}} of skiable terrain on 110 named runs. AccessRed Mountain is served by resort-owned shuttles from small airports in Trail and Castlegar. Shuttles also operate to the nearest international airports in Spokane, WA (2.5 hrs.) and Kelowna (3.5 hrs.). HistoryIn the summer of 1958, a new slalom slope was cleared by the RMSC for racing practice. Work was delayed until the fall due to threats of forest fires.[3] At the time, Red Mountain had just one chairlift, the Red Chair, western Canada's first in 1947.[3] During the 1958-59 season, daily lift tickets were $3.50 for the general public and $2.25 for RMSC members (or 40 cents for a single ride).[4] Michel Trudeau, third son of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau-Kemper and younger brother of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, had been working for about a year at Red Mountain Resort and living in Rossland when on November 13, 1998 during a backcountry skiing trip with some friends in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park, he was swept into Kokanee Lake by an avalanche and unable to reach the shore and drowned at age 23.[5]In the summer of 2013, a third peak was added, Grey Mountain, adding {{convert|1000|acre|km2|1}} of terrain and 22 named runs. A new, fixed-grip, Poma quad-chair is intended to be in service for the 2013/14 winter season. See also
