RED Mountain Resort, the fiercely independent, highly unique ski resort located in Rossland, British Columbia, is in the early stages of reshaping the entire future of alpine living. Since gaining the industry’s attention at large with their ground-breaking business plan, which turned traditional ski area ownership models on their head, their unwavering commitment to quality has thrust them back into the spotlight. To combat the current conglomerate mentality, RED Mountain Resort not only aspires to be aggressively autonomous but is also working toward a revolution in the future of slope-side lodging.
Nestled within the breathtaking Monashee Mountains, Rossland, British Columbia, is infamously known for being the mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers alike. Home to the oldest ski resort in Western Canada, RED Mountain Resort is a year-round playground offering endless terrain for a truly authentic mountain experience. With over 3,850 acres of terrain, 300 inches of annual snowfall, and five skiable peaks, RED Mountain Resort is a dream come true for snow sport fanatics. Boasting an eclectic mountain culture deep-rooted in history, there is an undeniable draw to the unpretentious, laid-back vibe of Rossland. Dating back to 1896, its legacy and rich history in part can be attributed to hosting Canada’s longest-running Winter Carnival, which created the first opportunity for women to play competitive hockey in front of spectators. This historical event would conceive true hometown legends and pioneers in the sport and alter the role of Canadian women in athletics in the future.
The Rossland Ladies Hockey Team, formally named The Crescents, is a significant part of Rossland history and pays tribute to the proudly independent culture and community of RED Mountain Resort. As an homage to their legacy and contribution, a new real estate venture scheduled to break ground this summer will be named in their honor and will set the tone for the future of alpine living. The Crescent, a 102-unit residential building steps from RED’s Silverlode chair, will be the first of its kind at a Top Ten North American ski resort. Located at the heart of the resort’s base area, these modern alpine flats will elegantly intertwine urban and alpine features to offer unparalleled mountainside living at an extraordinary price point.Â
Experience the true essence of alpine living with direct access to mountain adventure just outside your doorstep. The Crescent is a collection of studios, one-bedrooms, and lofts, each with a smart convertible design, ample storage space, and extensive amenities. Ranging from 426 to 954 square feet, these highly efficient spaces were specifically designed to deliver ease of ownership, from keyless entry to secure underground parking. Boasting a Scandinavian-style feel, each unit includes high quality, custom built-ins, cabinetry, and deluxe features throughout. Bright, open floorplans provide plenty of light and space, as well as the ability to convert living/dining areas into sleeping areas for up to six people.
Designed by Studio 9 Architecture in Nelson, B.C., homes at The Crescent are move-in ready and offer connected spaces to create a community environment. A reflection of the culture at RED Mountain, The Crescent aims to create an atmosphere that encourages a sense of belonging. To maximize the local lifestyle and enhance the community, the connected spaces were explicitly designed to optimize the overall experience at The Crescent. Take advantage of the communal co-work, fitness center, lounge, rooftop deck, and outdoor BBQ stations to truly embrace the modern alpine living experience. For convenience, The Crescent will also offer a marketplace to grab a coffee or groceries.
The Crescent truly encompasses everything you need to live extravagantly yet minimally. Starting under $300K, this unique real estate venture is incomparable to any other slope-side properties in North America at this price point. The Crescent’s Presentation Center will soon be opening for in-person and virtual tours, with sales launching in the weeks shortly after that in Spring 2022. This exceptional opportunity is affordable, highly desirable, and unlike any property on the market. Construction is slated to commence this summer, and by the Winter 2023 snow season, The Crescent will be move-in ready.
For the most authentic, on-mountain experience, The Crescent maximizes the RED Mountain Resort lifestyle by creating endless opportunities with ease. Combining the best of both worlds, this exclusive real estate project offers modern-day amenities and features while capturing the carefree ambiance of an alpine oasis. With endless outdoor adventure just outside your door, this home away from home has everything you need to make life easy and enjoyable. Take your slope-side living to the next level for an unbeatable price – The Crescent at RED Mountain Resort will welcome you with open arms.Â

I was following along with the breathless promotional prose until I got to “starting under $300K” for a 426-952 square foot space. The Helter Smelter amber ale sprayed out of my nose.
I’ve been to Red Mountain. I like it. I thought the culture was ski bums renting little old houses …Maybe I hang out with the wrong crowd. I celebrate your autonomy.
