About Red Mountain Racers

Creating Skiers for Life Since 1947

For more than 75 years, Red Mountain Racers has been developing alpine skiers of all ages and abilities through quality coaching, a supportive team environment, and a lifelong passion for the sport.

As a not-for-profit organization, RMR provides a pathway for athletes from developing skiers through to high-performance competitors. Our programs focus on building strong technical skills, confidence, teamwork, and a love of skiing that lasts well beyond the competitive years.

A Proud Ski Racing Tradition

Ski racing at Red Mountain has a history that extends back more than a century, including hosting the first Canadian Championships in 1898. Founded in 1947, Red Mountain Racers has continued this proud tradition by helping athletes achieve success at the provincial, national, and international levels.

Over the years, RMR athletes have gone on to compete for BC and Canadian alpine teams, earn NCAA scholarships, and pursue careers in alpine racing, ski cross, and freeskiing.

Just as importantly, our coaches have helped hundreds of young athletes become confident, skilled skiers who develop lasting friendships and carry their passion for skiing throughout their lives.
