An IKON Trip with a lift ticket available as an extra-cost option.

Located close to  beautiful Rossland, BC, about nine miles north of the US/Canadian border and just a 2.5 hour drive from Spokane, Washington, Red Mountain Resort may be described as perhaps "the last great, unspoiled resort."  Take a moment to read the reviews in On The Snow and Rise & Alpine. 

Our trip package includes 7 nights (Sat-Sat) in the acclaimed boutique ski-in/ski-out Josie Hotel (sleep at about 3,900 ft) with daily breakfast, RT air from Washington to Spokane (details below) and ground transfers.  The trip includes transportation for an optional day of skiing at Whitewater Mountain Resort (more below).  Emergency medical, evacuation & repatriation insurance (not cancellation insurance) is included (details below).

Prepare for endless terrain with the #1 Most Acres Per Skier, pristine skiing, and total freedom.  Red Mountain typically gets 300 inches of snow, has nearly 3,000 feet of vertical, and almost 4,000 acres of terrain (see video).  Red Mountain serves up a private playground with the deepest of powder and uncrowded slopes:

• Judged Most Underrated Ski Resort by Skiing Magazine
• Ranked #3 for Best Terrain by Snowboard Canada Resort Guide
• Ranked #4 Best Ski Resort by POWDER Magazine
• Voted the 8th Best Place in the World to Visit by The New York Times

Located just steps from the chairlift, the Josie Hotel provides a luxurious home base for our vacation.  Check out the hotel's amenities.  Visit The Josie’s world-class fitness center for a little self-improvement, or visit the restorative spa for a lot of self-indulgence.  The fitness center has state-of-the-art cardio and strength-training equipment.  Accolades include:

• Winner of Canada’s Best Ski Boutique Hotel (2019 World Ski Awards)
• Ranked #2 Best Ski Hotel in 2019 (USA TODAY 10 Best)

Our stylishly appointed guest rooms have two Queen beds, spacious bathrooms, a coffee maker, a mini fridge, and gratis WiFi.  Rooms with one King bed may be available, upon request and subject to availability.

Single Rooms:  Listed price is for double occupancy; add $1,195 for the single supplement if you want a room to yourself.

Whitewater Ski Day:  Our trip package includes a day trip, on Thursday, to  Whitewater Mountain Resort.  The round-trip bus ride (about 90 minutes each way) is included in the trip package, but the Whitewater lift ticket is an optional add-on, recognizing that some participants – particularly those with an Ikon Pass – might prefer to just ski every day at Red Mountain.  The one-day lift-ticket cost is:

• $125 (Adult)
• $110 (65+ Senior)

Whitewater is known for its powder. (See video.)

Cat Skiing:  A day of cat skiing may be an option at Big Red Cats:  Big Red Cats is all about putting a powder smile on your face!  Spanning across 8 peaks, our 20,000 acres of terrain offers some of the best glade and tree skiing in the world! The variety of our terrain enables us to offer different trip levels for Expert, Advanced and Intermediate skiers, and riders.

Ikon Pass Benefits:  If you're planning to ski at more than one "Ikon" resort this winter, an Ikon Pass may be a better value than the available group lift tickets (see below); it may depend when you buy your pass as prices will increase as winter gets closer.

• A Full Ikon Pass gives you 7 days at Red Mountain
• An Ikon Base Pass gives you 5 days at Red Mountain

Ikon Passes must be individually purchased (not through the club).  You may purchase Ikon Passes directly from Ikon (including discounted pricing available to military members and their dependents), but we suggest that you visit our Epic & Ikon Pass page to explore the promotional offers that may be available from our tour operators.

If you'll be using an Ikon Pass, we must provide your pass number to the resort so that it counts towards our group lift ticket minimum purchase requirements.  Please enter your Ikon Pass number into your membership profile before registering for the trip, or provide it to the trip leader if you purchase (or renew) your pass subsequent to signing up.

Group Lift Tickets:  Group lift tickets are available as an extra-cost option for skiers without an Ikon Pass. 

75+ seniors ski for free at Red Mountain

Air Schedule:    Flights on Alaska Airlines(Subject to Change):

Membership Requirement:  Your club membership must be current when signing up for the trip and throughout the duration of the trip.  The trip has been "sanctioned" through the Blue Ridge Ski Council.  Current members of other BRSC member ski clubs may register for the trip beginning July 1.

Trip Insurance:   Emergency medical, evacuation & repatriation insurance (not cancellation insurance) is included with your trip.  This is not cancellation coverage and will not provide any relief if you have to cancel from the trip before it begins, whether for medical or other reasons.  You may upgrade the coverage of this Basic Plan to include cancellation insurance by clicking on this link.  It will take you to a flyer describing the Basic Plan and the upgrade options available through Myra Altschuler of Travel Protectors LLC:

To upgrade to “Cancel for Any Reason” insurance, you must contact Myra Altschuler at  myra@travelprotectors.com within 14 days from the date you write your first deposit check or make your first deposit by credit card.

Payment Schedule:

We’ll confirm your registration after you've signed up (registered) for the trip and we've received your payment:  Pay online by going to our Partial Payments Page where you can make initial deposits &/or interim payments for one or more trips, and for one or more members, in a single transaction.  You may also make partial payments with credit cards at club meetings.  Note:  If you wish instead to pay for the entire trip (or to pay your remaining balance), you should make your payment directly against your trip invoice.  You can find your invoice(s) from your profile page by selecting your name in the upper right corner of the website when you are logged in.

If you prefer to pay by check, make it payable to the Pentagon Ski Club and mail it to our treasurer:  Tom Gallagher, 8203 Lazy Point Lane, Lorton, VA 22079.  Indicate which trip, and what skier(s), it is for.  Or give it to the trip leader (or to Tom) at a club meeting.
