Information on Red Lodge Mountain:
Red Lodge Mountain's name comes from the heritage of colorful tepees that once dotted the area's foothills. Legend has it that the town of Red Lodge was named for the tepees' coloring of red clay. These dwellings beckoned early settlers to an area as unique as the symbol each family painted on its home. Red Lodge Mountain offers lots of powder, few crowds, nearby parking and no waiting in line. With an average snowfall of more than 250 inches during the ski season and a vertical drop of 2,400 feet, Red Lodge Mountain welcomes the beginner, intermediate and the advanced skier. More than 70 runs, covering 1,600 acres, beckon the enthusiast and challenge the advanced. Winter daytime temperatures average between 15 F and 25 F, and there's plenty of Montana sunshine. In fact, the sun shines five out of seven days and there's low humidity, too. Beginners will love Miami Beach's gentle terrain, open spaces and room to practice. Lazy M is a 2-1/2-mile cruiser that appeals to intermediates and experts. Advanced skiers will definitely get a thrill from the chutes of the Main Drainage.
