Red Lodge Mountain in Montana offers an authentic ski experience with a focus on skiing rather than resort-style amenities. The resort is known for its wide range of terrain that caters to all abilities, from gentle beginner slopes to challenging expert runs. Red Lodge's lack of lift lines and unspoiled setting make it a hidden gem. The resort's charming base area provides essential services and a cozy atmosphere. Red Lodge Mountain is celebrated for its friendly staff and community feel. The resort's location near the Beartooth Mountains adds to its scenic beauty. Red Lodge Mountain is perfect for those seeking a laid-back skiing experience with a variety of terrain in a beautiful setting.

Reviews

This is a great resort, off the beaten path. There is a variety of terrain for first time beginners, to hair raising double blacks. It is uncrowded except for weekends. The price is very affordable!

Red Lodge Mountain is a good beginner mountain if nothing else. Most days you can hit every lift and run before 2. They have a few faster lifts but other than that theyre old school.

When the weather cooperates and provides some snowfall, the skiing can be pretty darn good. The natural-snow expert terrainwhen it has snowprovides plenty of challenge for most skiers and riders. The lift system is relatively well thought-out, but some of the older lifts may give your legs more of a chance to recover than you wanted. The on-mountain F&B is limited but pretty decent, and the lodging, dining, and après opportunities in downtown Red Lodge are excellent.
