Sure, we've skied Red Mountain before.  This time we are doing a HOSTEL takeover!

Red Mountain Resort has FIVE peaks, 3,850 acres (one of the top 10 largest in North America), 3,000 feet of vert, 8 lifts, 119 runs, 300” of snowfall, and $10/run in-bounds cat skiing!  Rip tree runs, float the big powdery glades, or cruise some of the sweetest groomers in the West. Another fun fact? #1 in most acres per skier in North America.  Tired of being forced to hit the brakes because somebody is in your way?  Not at Red.  Base is a crisp 3,887’ and the summit is 6,807’.


The Nowhere Special Hostel is NEW and a short two-minute walk from the chair with amenities above and beyond. DSC has reserved 4, 8-person dorm “rooms.”  Each lockable room has 4 twin bunk beds and shared bathroom space. The hostel has a ton of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces as well as a kitchen that will make even Matty Matheson sweat with desire.
