We told you last winter that B.C.’s Red Mountain sucks. But apparently nobody told this guy, who tells us that Red saw Western Canada’s first lift, in 1947, that there’s nearly 3,000 feet of vert, that because it’s in the Kootenays it gets lighter, fluffier snow than any lower, coastal resort (cough, Whistler, COUGH), and that the resort plans to expand to five peaks and grow to more than 4,200 acres. He chronicles how more than half the two mountains’ runs are advanced, ticking off several no-slouch double diamonds, and quoting marketing folks explaining how they’ve positioned Red toward more skilled, aggro skiers and not toward families or newbies. Yep, like we said, it sucks. Stay away.
