Artfully Rossland - Tourism Rossland

 

Rossland is a mecca for all outdoor enthusiasts. Not only are we the mountain biking capital of BC, but we're also home to some of the greatest powder you will ever experience, making us the greatest place to be all year round. It's safe to say, you're in for a seriously good time. 

RED Mountain Resort is well known in the ski community, and for good reason. With over 300 inches of annual snowfall, renowned gladed tree skiing, wide-open groomed runs, and a phenomenal terrain park, what more could you want? Cat Skiing? Well, good thing Rossland is home to the world's largest cat skiing operation, Big Red Cats. We take winter very seriously here and offer a unique and authentic experience.
