Red Lodge Mountain is an alpine ski area in the western United States, located in south-central Montana along the eastern front of the Beartooth Mountains, west of the town of Red Lodge.
[1] In the late 1950s, an enthusiastic group of Red Lodge and Billings skiers formed Grizzly Peak, Inc.
[2] The ski area continued to grow with the addition in 1983 of the Winter Sports Center and the Triple Chair and the replacement of Midway Lodge in 1986.
This 18-hole championship golf course and substantial real estate development has offered more and varied work opportunities for seasonal and year-round employees.
In the summer of 1996, the ski area undertook the largest expansion in its history and opened the Cole Creek area which included two high-speed detachable quad chairlifts, 18 new slopes and trails, a complete overhaul of the mountain’s snow-making system and other improvements to the skiing experience.
