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.
