Located just 68 miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park with a peak elevation of
9,416-feet, Red Lodge Mountain was originally founded as Grizzly Peak Ski Area in 1960. In 1965 the
name was changed to Red Lodge Mountain. Today the area boasts 1,635 skiable acres, 70 runs, and
Montana’s second largest snowmaking system serviced by eight lifts including three high-speed
detachable chairs. In 1994, the 18-hole Red Lodge Mountain Golf Course was added to the operation and
in 2018 the company opened Grizzly Peak Outdoors retail store located in downtown Red Lodge.
