Advertised as Canada's Oldest Winter Carnival. It's held at the end of January and features (among other activities) bobsled races down the steepest residential streets in town. Some locals start building their sleds in late fall, all in an effort to celebrate life in the crater of an ancient volcano.
Artifacts and photos from historic Rossland and an underground tour of the old Le Roi Gold Mine that last operated in 1929. The town's official visitor centre is also here. Mine tours run from May to August. The museum has winter hours. There is also a "Ski Wing" at the museum.
This 31 km long trail from the south trailhead to the north trailhead is one of the more well known trails in the area. It follows a ridge-line in the Rossland Range. Hikers and mountain bikers use the trail. For mountain bikers, it is known as an IMBA "epic trail." Usable from mid-July to late September. One the trails maintained by KCTS.
Rents and sells bikes, accessories, and clothing. Also is a good place to learn about the opportunities for biking and to get a trail map (talk to Tyler).
Cross-country skiing.
Downhill skiing. One of Canada's best and most famous ski resorts. 5 lifts, 2900 vertical feet, 83 marked runs and deep Kootenay power snow, large adjacent cross-country area. On a powder day, the runs on Red and Granite Mountains will be busy but 4 big lifts plus a T-bar and a Magic Carpet for the kids will keep things moving.
