Question 1

Is The Skookum Co really ski-in/ski-out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The suites are at The Crescent, right at the base of RED Mountain Resort in Rossland, BC — ski-in/ski-out in winter and bike-out in summer. You are just steps from the lifts, with no shuttle needed.

Question 2

How many people can each suite sleep?

Accepted Answer

Each of the three suites sleeps up to four guests, with a queen bed plus a queen sofa bed, and one bathroom. Every suite has a full kitchen and in-suite laundry, which makes them well suited to families or two couples travelling together.

Question 3

Do the suites have a kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All three suites — The Powder Room, The Drop Zone and The Traverse — have a full kitchen and in-suite laundry, so you can self-cater for the week. There's also secure ski and bike storage, fast WiFi, and a shared rooftop lounge.

Question 4

Is The Skookum Co pet friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the suites are pet friendly. Check-in is self check-in and available 24/7, so you can arrive on your own schedule. Bring your dog and your gear — there's secure storage for skis and bikes right at the building.

Question 5

What is there to do near The Skookum Co in summer?

Accepted Answer

Rossland is one of Canada's top mountain-biking towns, with 200+ km of singletrack and the lift-served RED Mountain Bike Park at your doorstep. You can bike out from the suite in summer, and there are alpine lakes, hiking and events across the Kootenays a short drive away.

Question 6

How do I book, and is it cheaper than Airbnb?

Accepted Answer

Book direct at theskookum.co and save about 18% versus Airbnb, with no platform fees. Rates start from around CAD 125 per night. Each suite has its own live calendar and instant booking, and self check-in means no waiting on a front desk.
