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.

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.

Hemlock Valley Resort is located in the Fraser Valley, close to Chilliwack, Mission and Abbotsford. The road up is gnarly but once you make it to the lodge it's a nice little area. Four lifts service the ski area which is 121 hectares with a 400m vertical drop.

About half way between Vancouver and Calgary, and just off of Highway 1, is the city of Revelstoke, dam of Revelstoke, and ski resort of Revelstoke. They like the name Revelstoke in Revelstoke, and apparently some of them like skiing and snowboarding as well. This resort uses high speed lifts to access a large amount and variety of terrain, making it one of the best advanced ski areas in BC.
