Red Lodge Mountain sits above the town of Red Lodge on the edge of the Beartooth Range, with 70 runs across about 1,635 acres (662 hectares). The base is 7,010 ft (2,138 m) and the summit reaches 9,420 ft (2,870 m), a vertical drop of 2,400 ft (732 m). Advanced terrain is the largest share at 36%, followed by intermediate at 25%, expert at 20% and beginner at 19%. Three double chairs, two quads, a triple and a surface lift keep the network simple. Because the base is already above 7,000 ft, snow quality stays dry and the season runs long.

The older Grizzly Peak and Willow Creek sides hold groomed cruisers, including the long arcing Lazy M, and a mix of beginner and intermediate runs. The Cole Creek expansion adds an 800 acre drainage of steeper lines, with narrow canyon runs, bumps and glades served by high-speed quads. Locals once skied into it from outside the boundary before the lifts arrived. Red Lodge suits advanced skiers wanting steeps without crowds, as well as families and Indy Pass holders exploring Montana. Views over the Great Plains to the east and the Beartooth Range to the west make a good reason to slow down.

The 2025-26 season at Red Lodge Mountain ran through the winter months, with the resort's considerable 2,400-foot vertical drop and elevation supporting conditions across the season. Specific opening and closing dates for the 2025-26 season are not confirmed in available resort information.

Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to the mountain's varied 1,635-acre terrain along the Beartooth Front. Given Red Lodge Mountain's roughly one-hour drive from Billings, Montana's largest city, the resort draws a substantial regional visitor base alongside destination skiers, aided by its Indy Pass affiliation.

As an Indy Pass resort, Red Lodge Mountain attracts visiting skiers holding that multi-resort pass in addition to its core Billings-area and regional Montana visitor base. The historic town of Red Lodge itself, with its coal-mining-era character, provides a genuine mountain-town base area experience for visitors throughout the season. Weekend crowds draw substantially from Billings given the manageable drive time.

Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since JMA Ventures' 2007 purchase, the resort has continued to build on more than six decades of development dating back to its January 1960 opening as Red Lodge Grizzly Peak. The mountain's considerable scale and Beartooth Front setting remain central to its appeal throughout the season.
