Opening Day Update

Let’s Go! We’re Opening Dec 24 at Noon.

Updated: December 24, 11:30 am

RED Mountain officially kicks off the 2025/26 season at noon today with skiing off Silverlode Chair. Our Mountain Ops Team and Ski Patrol are working hard to prepare terrain in the alpine, but additional time is required to complete hazard mitigation and marking in the Paradise Zone. At the present time, terrain off Paradise is scheduled to open on December 25.

Operations will be limited as we continue to wait for more snowfall to open additional terrain. Please ski and ride with care, obey all signage, and stick to designated and groomed runs. Natural hazards – both marked and unmarked – are present due to early-season conditions.
