About Rossland

It's hard to describe a town of such authentic character. Think Jackson Hole - about 50 years ago. Recently named by National Geographic Adventure as one of the "10 Great Adventure Towns to Live and Play" in North America, Rossland is a mountain community with the full array of recreational pursuits, and a surprisingly unpackaged integrity. Rossland is a safe place to live, and offers unprecedented cultural and community values for children. To find out more, visit Rossland's website at www.tourismrossland.com.

Red Mountain Resort
Red Mountain Resort has long been known as one of Canada's most respected resort destinations. In fact, Skiing Magazine recently placed Red 13th among North American resorts - among the top three percent. Red's legendary skiing offers beginner slopes to steeps to treed chutes, all a mere 5 minutes from Rossland. The facilities are undergoing renovation for an even better skier/boarder experience.
