DevO Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 So I've been hired to work in a cafe at Red Mountain in Rossland, BC this Winter! Has anyone here ever been to Rossland or have any insight on the place? I've never been but from what I gather it is an out of the way, low key ski town that has so far managed to stay clear of the tourist radar, and has an epic mountain to ride. It seems to be right in the middle of nowhere -- 8 hours from Calgary and 8 hours from Vancouver. An hour from Nelson. Weezy, does Themasses play Rossland at all? Maybe I could help get something going this Winter. For some reason I doubt they get much live music coming through there, though I see Wassabi is playing in town for their film festival. Visitors will be welcome any time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 You are gonna have a blast!!! Don't know if you ride a board or planks, but either way you're gonna be balls deep in some of the sweetest powder that Canada has. Have a great winter and if you need any Sister shows, let me know and I'll send some your way. Cheers, Can'O'Phish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezy Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 yo KevO - cool sh!t!Themasses have indeed played in Rossland once - at the Uplander Hotel - we will be back in the area sometime in February. The Kootenays are amazing - if you're in to winter sports, you won't want to leave. One thing I did notice, however, was the abundance of strict rules posted everywhere - mostly in the Hotel - but I noticed for instance, that no dogs are allowed on the sidewalks or streets downtown.. I guess with all the pot grower types in the area, each with many dogs, none with leashes - there could be some potential for problems, but c'mon...We renamed it 'Rulesland'.

Im going home Donny Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I lived in Nelson for a stretch and I hear Rossland is an intamite version of Nelson and WAY rulesland. Have a great time...don't get bitten by bears :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 don't get bitten by bears :: or have your face ripped off by one. awesome man, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Getting excited over here! Weezy thats awesome you guys will be back. Drop me a line and I'll be glad to help out with postering and whatnot... Unless they're gonna slap me with a ticket for vandalism! I was in Nelson for a few days last Winter and had an awesome time - I'd actually move there instead but this job at Red is for sure and Rossland sounds purty damn good to me. Bones, you've always got a place at casa kevo. That goes for everyone actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Have fun Kev , I'm so envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 (thanks tigger!) I'm flying in there on Air Canada Jazz or Tango (one of those), so maybe hopefully this airline coming into Castlegar is a new and more dependable development...? I noticed on my itinerary that the flight from Calgary to Castlegar was 12:03 - 12:16 and at first I was like "holy shyte, 13 minute flight!" ... then I finally realized the time change, hehe. Hey c-towns & SolarGarlic --- youz guys coming this way at all this winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I was just in Nelson for Garaj Mahal last weekend, but if Nelson keeps pulling shows off like that, I'll be back again and again. How long of a layover you got in Calgary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
