RED Mountain Finally Opening For 23/24 Winter Season
The avid skiers and snowboarders have been eagerly awaiting the opening of RED Mountain Resort in British Columbia, Canada. This year, however, the resort's season launch came with its own set of challenges due to below-average snowfall in the region. But, determined to offer a thrilling experience, the resort's Operations and Patrol teams have been working tirelessly to ensure a memorable start to the season.
On Thursday, December 28th, 2023, the resort will come to life as the Magic Carpet Carpet, Silverlode, Motherlode, and Paradise Chairs start spinning. While this is undoubtedly exciting news for winter sports enthusiasts, it's essential to remember that the mountain's snow conditions are early-season conditions. This means that guests are required to stick to designated and groomed runs, as natural hazards—both marked and unmarked—still pose a potential risk.
The resort's official announcement about which runs will be open to the public will be made on Thursday morning. However, it's important to note that the Motherlode Chair will primarily serve as access between Paradise and the lower mountain, so guests can plan their adventures accordingly.
Apart from the season's kick-off, there are a few other important updates to keep in mind starting Thursday:
Rossland to RED Shuttle: The free Rossland to RED shuttle service will resume on Thursday morning. Travelers can view and download the schedule on the resort's website, making transportation to and from the resort convenient and eco-friendly.
Discounted Lift Tickets: For those looking to hit the slopes without breaking the bank, lift tickets will be available at a 30% discount at the ticket window until further notice. This is an excellent opportunity for budget-conscious skiers and snowboarders to enjoy their favorite winter pastime.
Paradise Lodge: Paradise Lodge will be open with regular hours from 10 am to 3 pm. Guests can take a break from their adventures and enjoy a warm meal with a stunning view of the surrounding snow-covered landscape.
Rafters Après and No Shower Happy Hour: After a day of thrilling runs, head to Rafters for the first après and No Shower Happy Hour of the season. Rafters will be open from 11 am to 6 pm, with the Happy Hour starting at 2 pm. It's the perfect way to unwind and socialize with fellow skiers and snowboarders.
Rental Shop and Retail Store: If you need any last-minute tune-ups or outerwear before hitting the chairlifts, the Rental Shop (8 am to 4 pm) and Retail Store (8:30 am to 4:30 pm) will be ready to assist you. Ensure your gear is in top condition for a safe and enjoyable experience on the slopes.
