At the base of Red is the original ski area, which has been lift accessed for over 60 years. The Red Chair is a steep double that will take you to the top of Red Mountain. At just under 1600 meters, it's the lowest peak of the 3 mountains. Lower down, the T-Bar services the terrain park area.
To access the rest of the ski area you must take the beginner area Silverlode quad, then the Motherlode triple. That will take you to the top of Granite Mountain. There are 360 degrees of descents off of this peak, including some of the steepest, highest terrain in the area. If/when you're over that, drop into the Paradise Chair area, or to the Gray Mountain quad. These areas still have some gnar, but there is also some cruisers available.
Red has a good vibe and some incredible terrain. If you can make the trip it's usually worth a visit.

Sunshine Village is a big mountain resort close to Calgary and Banff. It's made up of several mountains if you want to get specific, but the entire ski area is accessed by one lift at the base lodge. Fortunately this lift is the Gondola, and is the fastest lift and has the highest capacity, so the base area doesn't get too bottlenecked with the crowds.

The ski area of Apex Mountain Resort is actually on Beaconsfield Mountain. This is an appropriately named mountain. When you get to the top and look around, you will see lots of tempting sidecountry and backcountry, where an avalanche beacon is required.
