I'm thinking of applying to a job in Trail, what is this area like? I've heard Rossland is a little nicer and it looks like a short drive so I would probably live there.
Trail is a bit more industrial/red neck. Rossland is a nicer place and very close to Red Mountain. Given the choice, I'd choose Rossland. Careful though, the road from Trail to Rossland can get treacherous in the winter. You're going to want a burly car or truck with chains if you're commuting.
