Opening Day

The Lifts Start Turning December 24

Latest Update: December 24, 11:30 AM

Big news! RED Mountain officially kicks off the 2025/26 season on December 24. Our team has been working tirelessly over the last few weeks to prepare the mountain and our facilities for your arrival.

We will be kicking off the first day of the season tomorrow, December 24 at 12:00pm with skiing on Silverlode Chair.

Our Mountain Ops Team and Ski Patrol are working hard to prepare terrain in the alpine, with additional terrain scheduled to open off Paradise Chair 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.
