About Us

RED Mountain is a place of powerful contrasts. We’re the oldest resort in Western Canada yet we’re also the home of the most significant terrain expansion in the last decade. We’re proudly Canadian yet located only minutes over the USA border in the snowy Kootenay mountains. Guests love our unpretentious, independent vibes and they also love our massive terrain—3,850 acres!— that puts us in the Top 10 size-wise in N. America. We’re bad at math but proud of our numbers: nearly 3,000 ft of vertical drop; 300-inches of snowfall; $10/run cat-skiing; and 5, count ‘em 5, skiable peaks. We have famous tree runs, pristine powder, glorious groomers, Ikon Pass access, and the only alpine taco truck in Canada.

We know that pillow lines and face shots are the real reason riders come here, but we also listened to our guests and leveled-up our accom options. Visitors from near and far can now pick their pillow from anywhere on the price spectrum –and all of them are true ski-in/ski-out: modern condos with private hot tubs; new, cozy cabins nestled right into the mountain for amazing access; a design-driven modern hostel a snowball’s throw from the lift; and The Josie, an independent boutique hotel that boasts incredible dining and cocktail options right at the base.

RED’s biggest boon in the great compare/contrast of mountain resorts is surely our superpower: the town of Rossland, right down the road. This Gold Rush town’s rugged charm and solid shopping and dining opportunities set RED apart from the pack, with The NY Times voting us their “#8 Best Place in the World to Visit.” And USAToday 10Best awarding us as Canada’s #1 Ski Town (No ticky-tacky “villages” here!)

At one time, we were under the radar. Now? We’re the Next Big Thing.
