Christmas Day in the mountains is a bit different than at home. Instead of one tree there are thousands–plus, you can shred with Santa if you’re making RED your home for the holidays! If you miss the meet-up at Paradise Lodge at 11am but can find Saint Nick getting gnarly out on our slopes he might just give you a treat. Come one, come all. This is serious fun for all ages.

Team GIVE’R Foundation presents Local Legends Freeski Day! This is a 1 day freeski camp/mentorship program for youth aged 9 – 18. Kids and young adults in the community can ski with and learn from the friendliest pros and well-known riders that live in Rossland. This initiative is to raise awareness for the Team GIVE’R Foundation and to align with our mission for kids to chase their dreams. All funds raised will go to the foundation to help kids get into the sport of skiing and fulfill their deepest passions.

Are you someone who can guess the IBU of any beer? Do you toss around terms like “malt backbone” and “Burton Snatch,” assuming that others have any idea what you’re on about? If so, don’t miss Battle of the Brews in Rafters. You can taste the wares of Rossland Beer Co., Tail Out Brewing, and Vancouver Island Brewing and vote on your favourite collabs. There’ll be live music, giveaways and, the Rafters specialty: cool, beer-loving people.

This is the testing ground for the newest adults in the freeskiing wilderness. See what happened to skiing when you weren’t looking. Your teeth will get cold because your jaw will be dropped when you witness the Hollywood mayhem on Links Line. If you’re not a freeskiing whiz competing, you should still try and catch a few comp runs from Motherlode if you can.

Possibly the biggest event of the year! The Annual Rossland Winter Carnival is packed with community and family-oriented activities and events throughout this historical weekend, with lots of reasons and ways to celebrate! From ice sculptures and ice bars, live music, food vendors, fire dancers and parades, tobogganing, bobsled races, RED Mountain's "The Game" Rail Jam, and more, this is seriously a weekend to remember.

Every year, Rossland gets urban AF for The Game Rail Jam. Come see the bravest jibbers within driving distance get kinky and throw down their best tricks right in downtown Rossland. If you’re one of the brave, registration’s on-site from 9-11am, competition begins at Noon. (Or just come and watch and hope that no teeth or blood spill your way.)

If you haven’t checked in with the level of freeskiing going on with the under-18 set lately, prepare to have your goggles blown off. Today’s top freeskiers will test the terrain of Links Line and put their own spins on it as they try to hit the podium of this, The Canadian Open Freeride Championships - IFSA Junior National.
