Red Mountain Resort delays opening again

Red Mountain Resort is pushing back its opening day — again.

The resort near Rossland, B.C., says recent snowfalls haven’t delivered enough coverage, temperatures have been too warm for snowmaking, and a windstorm last week brought down trees across the mountain.

Crews are still cleaning up, and about 20 to 30 centimetres of fresh snow is needed before skiers can hit the slopes.

If the forecast holds, the resort is aiming to open on December 24th.

Updates are being posted at redresort.com.
