Red Mountain Makes Ski Canada Magazine’s Best of Skiing
ROSSLAND, B.C.-(Business Wire)-January 21, 2009 - In Ski Canada Magazine’s recent “Best of Skiing” article, Red Mountain Resort was awarded “Best Powder”, “Best Bug” (re: summer glading), and “Best Bars and Apres Antics” (re: Rafters bar). Red has been awarded “Best Powder” year after year by the magazine, supporting Red’s claim for having fantastic champagne powder!
This wasn’t the only reward Red Mountain Resort recently received. The second week of the 2008/09 Christmas holiday period was indeed a merry one for Red. Revenues were up 54% over the same period last year and 85% over the same week in 2006/07. Guest visits were also up a substantial 29% over the same week last year.
Lift tickets and season pass sales showed the largest increase over 2007/08 while food and beverage outlets, equipment rentals and the mountain’s new retail Yurt enjoyed big gains as well.
When asked to comment, Red Mountain President and CEO Howard Katkov said, “Red is generating double digit growth in accommodation bookings this year over last. Despite the difficult economy, skiers and boarders are flocking to Red Mountain. The ski product we offer is unique in that it is a low key place where people come for the skiing, mountain culture and the laid back experience. It’s not about what you are wearing on the slopes; it’s about enjoying skiing with family and friends. People want affordable skiing and accommodation without feeling like they have to sacrifice something to get it and this is why so many choose Red Mountain as their destination ski resort.”
With the best Canadian dollar exchange rate seen in years, Red is the ideal destination for budget-conscious U.S. consumers. Red Mountain Resort has also partnered with Sotheby’s International Realty Canada (NYSE: BID) to develop a Master Plan with a vision for perfection in the most unique mountain setting.
