Live the Life at Red Mountain | Red Mountain Resort, Rossland, BC

The biggest news that we could ever give you is... Red Mountain just announced that each purchaser of a new home in either Slalom Creek or Morningstar on March 3rd will receive (2) lifetime ski passes at the Red Resort!! You and your partner can ski for free for the rest of your lives if you purchase a home on March 3rd.

By the way, have you seen RED Mountain Resort lately...in the Forbes Top Ten List, countless ski magazines, your local newspaper, television station, mailbox, and from all of your friends?? Are you wondering what all the fuss is about at RED Mountain Resort? You registered for more information, and it's all here!

Two RED Resort major announcements were made in December, including the first new chairlift in 30 years, and the signing of a deal with the 5-star, boutique Valencia Hotel. Things are abuzz here as RED Mountain Resort receives the recognition of being rated the numer 7 ski resort in all of North America, and coined "B.C.s next big thing" by the noted lifestyle magazine, 'Sunset', among other accolades.

In its 110-year ski history, the town of Rossland has come a long way, but very little has changed here about the experience of it all. Ever heard of little to no lift lines on an unbelievable powder day? That is certainly something that the privately owned Red Mountain is working hard to preserve. Currently the RED Mountain Resort terrain covers 1,585 acres, while the future lift expansion plan would increase it to over 4,200 acres.

There is a very limited opportunity for you to have an address at the base of RED mountain. Slalom Creek at RED Mountain Resort, the premiere, ski in/ ski out property at the base of the lifts is currently under construction with a scheduled completion of November 2007. Morningstar at RED Mountain Resort, in its dramatic, and intimate location is scheduled for occupancy shortly thereafter.

The 48 exceptional homes available for this season will be offered by a Selection Event on March 3rd.

Please contact us at 1.888.362.7007 if you are interested in learning more about this opportunity of a lifetime at RED Mountain Resort. Reservations are going fast for this limited time offer.
