With 13 feet of snow in just two months, RED Mountain Resort in Rossland, British Columbia, has been set up for an unforgettable winter season. November 2024 was the snowiest conditions the resort had seen in 19 years, enabling it to open a week ahead of schedule with an unseasonably deep base.
Not only is this year off to a great start, but the last decade has also been a period of growth for RED Mountain with three major expansions. This development has solidified its position as one of North America’s best and largest ski resorts, featuring extensive and unmatched terrain. The resort is also proud to be a premier destination on the multi-resort Ikon Pass. Despite this impressive growth, the resort has retained the authentic and relaxed atmosphere that has defined it for decades.
This unique blend makes the resort an ideal retreat from the crowded chaos of other destinations, offering world-class skiing alongside its laid-back charm. Highlights like pay-per-run cat skiing, Western Canada’s longest-running winter carnival in Rossland, and overnight stays in backcountry cabins for first tracks in the morning further distinguish RED from other resort destinations.
RED’s growing reputation has garnered significant media attention and praise. In recent months, the resort earned accolades from Condé Nast Traveler and Vogue, ranking among the Top 5 Ski Resorts in Canada. At the same time, it has a reputation for being one of the best places for tree skiing on the continent.
Adding to the excitement is the debut of The Crescent condos, a stunning 100+ unit development at the resort’s base. As the first venture by RED Mountain Homes, the resort’s real estate arm, The Crescent has been a sold-out success. Privately owned units are now available for rent through RED Mountain Resort Lodging.
In addition, two more developments currently under construction are The Daly Alpine Homes and The Glades, which are set for completion in Summer 2026 and 2027, respectively. These projects are designed to enhance the base area community even further. With over $120 million in real estate sales in recent years, RED has emerged as one of North America’s fastest-growing alpine real estate markets. These projects aim to transform RED Mountain into a thriving neighborhood, blending seamlessly with Rossland’s small-town appeal and vibrant ski culture to offer a refreshing departure from the formulaic resort villages found elsewhere.
Looking beyond winter, RED is expanding its year-round offerings to solidify its commitment to becoming a perennial destination. The resort broke ground this past summer on the new lift-accessed RED Mountain Bike Park, developed in collaboration with Gravity Logic, and is set to launch in June 2025. Additional plans include expanded hiking trails, summer biking camps, yoga retreats, and more.
Once a hidden gem, RED Mountain has firmly established itself as a must-visit destination. With its unparalleled skiable terrain, dynamic real estate growth, and authentic community charm, RED Mountain redefines what a modern ski resort experience should be.
