Red Lodge Mountain
Red Lodge Mountain is Montana Skiing, pure and simple. No lift lines, no attitude, no big prices. Just great snow, great people, and an authentic experience in Montana’s Rocky Mountains. But there are those who say Red Lodge is at its best in the summer. They’re usually golfers. With a mid-high slope of 126 spread across a generous 160 acres, Red Lodge Mountain Golf Course has enough challenging terrain to keep you on your toes. Add to that several lakes, lots of creek crossings, the occasional July snowstorm, and a neighborhood moose or deer wandering across your fairway, and a day out on the Red Lodge links never feels like the same old thing.
