adjective; see also Calmunity; Simpiphany; antonym(s): McSkiing
A realization that—thanks to Simpiphany, Calmunity, and the other made-up words that make RED Mountain real during an industry era of pugnacious consolidation and an irrational fear that one’s future is $21 CostCo burritos reheated and resold by sad automatons under angry lights—the future still looks fiercely independent, passionate, and Powderful.
Welcome to the RED world.
Our independence makes us a little different wherever you look.
If you’re the kind of person who’ll always choose an indie coffee shop over Starbucks and take a chance on a mom ’n’ pop diner on the road rather than a sure thing at Denny’s, RED Mountain will feel like a cosmic fist bump. We’re independent to a fault. We prefer character over compromise. From our bars and restaurants, down to the people that have lived here for generations, you’ll notice something different in the air – and in the snow.
RED didn’t evolve this way by accident.
This place started as a ski club, owned and operated by the community. Through every stage of our development we’ve tried to maintain that community spirit at all costs. This means keeping our famous red lockers in the lodge despite them really getting in the way of the renovation, and it means maintaining all of the original beams in Rafters Lounge because our locals value our shared history. And yes, our Red Chairlift is still the same Red Chair that started it all.
