The Company 
Red Resort LP, one of North America's premier ski destinations, seeks a dynamic leader to assume the role of President. With a focus on sustainable growth and exceptional customer experiences, the President will lead strategic initiatives across all facets of resort operations and development.

Fiercely Independent 
RED Mountain is a place of powerful contrasts. We’re the oldest resort in Western Canada yet we’re also the home of the most significant terrain expansion in the last decade. We’re proudly Canadian yet located only minutes over the USA border in the snowy Kootenay mountains. Guests love our unpretentious vibes and they also love the massive terrain—3,850 acres! — that puts us in the Top 10, size-wise, in North America.

All Your for the Taking 
Here at RED, we have everything you need and nothing you don’t. You can stay a snowball’s throw from the lift at a clean, modern hostel or kick back at a slope-side condo or in a boutique hotel. We’re bad at math but proud of our numbers: nearly 3,000 ft of vertical drop; 300-inches of snowfall; pay-per-run in-bounds cat-skiing; and 5, count‘em 5, skiable peaks. We have famous tree runs, pristine powder, glorious groomers, Ikon Pass access, and the only snowbound taco truck in Canada. We were once under the radar, now we’re the Next Big Thing.
