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.
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.
Small Town Ski atmosphere. Great Skiing! Virtually no lift lines. Lower and mid-mountain chalets. Well groomed runs.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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 Loved this little place. it is a very small and cozy. Everyone is super nice. something for everyone.
