“A ski hill that hasn’t lost its soul is hard to find. We found that at RED.”
The Kaknes
Owners Since 2021
“We’ve lived in Colorado and skied many different resorts. The ease of navigating Rossland and the mountain makes it feel so approachable and inviting for families — not to mention the value compared to US resorts.”
The Meiers
Owners Since 2021
“It was never just about a property — it was about finding a community that had soul. Just to wake up and be 157 steps from the chair is pretty incredible. And when we got there, Katrina said it best: I’m home. This is it.”
The Gosselins
Owners Since 2021
“RED Mountain is our family’s favourite place. Being a homeowner here is both a lifestyle and a financial investment.”

Everything USA Buyers Ask Us
Can Americans buy property at RED Mountain?
Yes. RED Mountain Resort and Rossland are exempt from Canada’s Foreign Buyer Ban and the Non-Resident Speculation Tax, making this one of the most accessible Canadian resort markets for US buyers.
How does the exchange rate work in my favour?
Purchasing in Canadian dollars means your US dollar goes further — giving you more home for your money compared to comparable US resort markets. Exchange rates fluctuate, so we recommend consulting your financial advisor, but the value advantage has historically been meaningful.
How do US buyers finance a purchase?
Several options are available: cash purchase, conventional Canadian mortgage financing, and US buyers accessing Canadian lenders (subject to approval). Down payments for non-residents are typically 25%. Corporate and trust purchases are also accepted. Financing options can vary by project and stage. We recommend working with a cross-border real estate specialist — our team can connect you with trusted professionals.
What are the closing costs I should budget for?
Expect standard legal and closing fees, 5% GST on new construction, and Property Transfer Tax (PTT). Your legal advisor will walk you through the full picture for your specific purchase.
What about ongoing costs like property tax?
Property taxes vary by unit size and assessed value and are set by the City of Rossland. There is also an annual resort fee that applies to each home. Our sales team can give you a general sense of what to expect for the specific home you’re considering.
Do I need to visit in person to buy?
No. Many of our US buyers have purchased remotely through virtual tours, digital document signing, and our sales team’s guided process. That said, we strongly encourage a visit — most people who come to RED understand immediately why owners keep coming back.
Are there restrictions on how I use or rent my home?
All RED Mountain Homes permit short-term and nightly rentals. There are no restrictions preventing US citizens from renting their property. We recommend consulting a cross-border tax advisor regarding US reporting obligations on rental income from foreign property.
How far is RED from the US border?
RED Mountain is approximately 2.5 hours north of Spokane, WA via Highway 395 — an easy drive that makes spontaneous long weekends very doable.
