Snowsports School - Beginner to advanced programs

RED Mountain Resort is excited to present to you our new and improved Snowsports camps and programs for 2011-12. Highlights below.

Newbie? Discover Skiing and Snowboarding Safely
Discover Snowsports safely! Get introduced to the sport of skiing or snowboarding with this 2 hour lesson.

For Women by Women
Chix on Snow means skiing or riding with like-minded women in a no-pressure, peer-supported environment. (Think Oprah's couch only steeper, fluffier and with no crazy Tom Cruise types.) Debrief each day with a free beverage in our Rafters bar. Now offered to telemarkers, too.

KEEN Rippin Chix
RED & Alison Gannett's Rippin' Chix have teamed up to offer KEEN Rippin' Chix Steep Skiing camp in the infamous Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia. This 2-day camp includes two full days of instruction and video analysis, with Alison's famous steep skills toolbox instruction. Win huge prizes from KEEN, Patagonia, NEMO, Elemental Herbs, and Osprey.

Men's Vert Club
You might not be a, um, master groomer but our top instructors can help you master the groomers if not your hairy back. Polish your turns and show those steeps, bumps and glades who's boss. Advil and cold ones follow in Rafters Bar.

Lift passes can be bought in advance through Ski Safari at a discount - please call us on 01273 224 064.
