    Red Mountain, BC Crowdfunding for Equity

    Yes...word is they're broke and there are rumors afoot that they may not open...but I seriously doubt that. Construction was halted months ago on the Hotel which now serves as a monument to ill conceived planning. Bottom line...the current ownership group are a clump of idiots

    Jackson Hole MR 12/19 to 12/23

    Red Mt., B.C., Feb. 20, 2014

    I would assume it is horrendous...Castle is closed, Fernie may be next...from the look of the base area as posted on TGR I have friends meeting at Red this weekend...really glad I passed on it. The place is empty, Management is fooling only the Tourists who don't read... Not surprised really...

    Season 2014-2015 Plans

    This last point by Mr. Crocker is spot-on...I would add Red to that group if it has Snow...this year so far, not so much.

    Looks a bit moist...too bad, great Mountain as you know...have you ever been by the Klister Klub Kabin? North side of Granite closer to the bottom of between Sara's Chutes and Coolers near Long Squaw (aka Rino's Run). Took these shoots last year after an afternoon of socializing with the locals...

    Western Canada Road Trip 2013 - Fernie

    Well, there is no accounting for taste...Really Good?...totally subjective. Interesting for sure..,but a collection of daisy chained short clips, eerie music and tacky cinematic edits might work for you, but not for me and I really didn't get a good feel for the terrain either...

    Western Canada Road Trip 2013 - Fernie

    I'm starting off this TR kinda near the end as that was where the best conditions were to be had by FAR (Fernie Alpine Resort). After a 4 day weekend in Rossland for the Winter Carnival and riding the slopes of Red & Granite, I departed the condo at Red at 5 am on Monday the 28th and made haste...

    Who's booked 12-13 trips already?

    I echo that sentiment Socal...The next 10 days looks exceedingly meagre for precipitation as the Western half of N. America is going to be dominated by a large and seemingly immovable high pressure system. It looks like some potential pattern change around day 9 or 10 but any kind of forecast...
