Red Mountain Resort is one of the oldest and most famous ski resorts in Canada. It was the site of the first World Cup race in the nation and the location of the Canadian Downhill Championships. Olympic gold medalists Kerrin Lee-Gartner and Nancy Greene are among Red Resort's famous ski racers. Red offers two peaks, 1,596 acres, and 2,900 vertical feet of all-natural snow and an additional 4,000 acres just outside the resort boundary.
