red lodge mountain

Groomers and power runs. Very nice lodge close to the summit, but unfortunately only open on weekends. Fortunately, the restrooms ARE open all days.

Skied two days at Bridger Bowl, but knew that Red Lodge had received 17 inches of snow two days before, so decided to go there. Spent most of the time skiing the Palisades area. Great runs and a high speed lift. With the new snow, the rest of the ski area was great. If weather turns warm, they may lose snow fast.

I have never been to Montana and had a few days off work so I decided to take myself snow boarding. I am a skier but want to learn snow boarding. The drive to Red Lodge was exciting; it is such beautiful country. Red Lodge is a quaint little town with many shops and places to eat. The drive up to Red Lodge Mountain from the town is also exciting. I was particularly fastinated by the sign that requires you to have snow chains or a vehicle that can navigate the steep, often snow laden passage. I realized why on my second day to the hill as I had to climb the mountain in very near white out conditions. Which only caused me to be more excited. Once at the lodge the staff were very helpful and attentive in getting my gear, rental, and onto the slopes. I went right to the Magic Carpet (bunny hill) as my lesson did not start for another hour. The Lift Attendant (aka: Liftie), Bob was so helpful in giving me pointers to get me started. Then, my lesson with Brianna was excellent. She helped me to form a good foundation. My second day on the slopes I went up the Miami Beach Lift. It was snowing the second day so that meant very different skiing conditions. But, the tools that Brianna gave me equipped me for all conditions. I look forward to continuing to snow board and hopefully soon be able to carve like Brianna. Thank you Red Lodge. You have great employees and you gave me a superb snow boarding experience. I look forward to coming back.

We make it to Red Lodge every year! By far one of if not our favorite place to ski that we have visited. We skiied it twice this year and loved it again...the 2+ feet of fresh powder was amazing of coarse!! Great overall mountain with a little bit of everything, no matter what type of skier you are you shouldn't be disappointed! No lift lines and an excellent staff from ski patrol, resturant, and the gift shop employees make this a place I look forward to visiting year after year!!!

On February 17 a group of 44 middle school students from Frank Brattin Middle School in Colstrip made a ski trip to Red Lodge Mountain. Annalee was instrumental in organizing this trip, the guys in the rental shop were great and got the kids checked in and out the door in record time. We had many first time skiers and snowboarders. After their lesson they were set loose to ski and snowboard and had a really good day. Our more experienced skiers and snowboarders took advantage of the nice day and spent the entire time on the mountain. A great day was had by all.

Have been there twice this Winter and it has been wonderful both times. It is a Huge Mountain with a small lodge feel. We have been both times on a Friday/Saturday Trip and it is definetly a busy place on a Saturday. If you are a first timer to a bigger Mountain and need some space i would suggest going during the week. Also if you are on a Budget be sure to purchase your 'Super savers' Lift tickets ahead of time. The earlier you buy the more you save. Definetly eat at the Midway Chalet or the Beirstube. Skip the Cafeteria.

Katie is an amazing employee! She helped make my visit to red lodge better than expected! Nature isn't always far for red lodge but employees like Katie make the trip worth it!

Thanks for visiting us. It's nice to hear how much you enjoyed yourselves, and I hope we'll see you again soon.

Small Town Ski atmosphere. Great Skiing! Virtually no lift lines. Lower and mid-mountain chalets. Well groomed runs.

My buddy and I decided that we werent going to hit the slopes the first day. My wife and her friend stll wanted to so we decided to go hit up the bar there. That place is FUN. The food was good but the beers and the environment were awesome. They even had the Packer/Seahawk game on. Next time we are in Red Lodge I am going to hit the slopes, which my wife told me was great. No chair lift wait times really. Only problem is that the power went out and the lifts stopped working for about a half hour or so. I would recommend checking this place out whether your skiing or not!! You will have fun either way.

I Loved this little place. it is a very small and cozy. Everyone is super nice. something for everyone.

Fair prices along with a good time if theres snow. I've been a few times and when theres snow this place is a blast! If not it seems the snow they make themselves was super icy and the skiing/boarding was no fun.

While there is a nice beginners area near the base, Red Lodge Mountain has plenty of room for advanced skiers with some potentially deep powder and trees on the advanced Cole Creek side. Lift lines are seldom and the mountain is large enough, it doesn't seem crowded. Even before Cole Creek was open, we could still find glade skiing on the rest of the mountain after a nice Christmas storm.

I’m sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit to Red Lodge Mountain. Admittedly, we had some marginal ski conditions prior to a number of snow storms rolling in during the last week of December, but we strive to publish an accurate snow report each day so that guests are not caught off guard. If you encountered conditions that you were not expecting, then I apologize. There’s also no excuse for any rudeness you experienced from our staff, and I would be happy to work towards a resolution. Please feel free to contact me, Jeff Carroll, at jcarrroll@redlodgemountain.com or 406-446-2610, xt 104.

Glad to hear you enjoy your visits to Red Lodge Mountain so much, and I'll be sure to let the Food & Beverage manager know how much you enjoy the soups and sandwiches.
