Nestled within the Beartooth Mountains, Red Lodge Mountain delivers big mountain fun without the big crowds or big prices. Our mountain is stubbornly, resolutely itself, and proud of it. It’s a character – honest, with the straightforward charm of our mountain and town. No matter what, we promise to remain as real and reliable as the people who come here. Authentic, always.
Ski Season
The mountain typically opens on the day after Thanksgiving and remains open through the second Sunday in April. Join us for the holidays! We’ll have normal operating hours on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years.

With snowmaking coverage on 28% of trails, we hold the second largest capacity snowmaking system in Montana. This allows us to consistently open in late November and maintain a strong on-piste snowpack throughout the season.
Magic Carpet
The Magic Carpet and the learning area are open daily.
A ticket will be required for all guests using the Magic Carpet. Tickets will be free. The number of available tickets will be limited to control crowds at the Magic Carpet.
Sunkid Surface Lift
The Sunkid Surface Lift at the top of Miami Beach is open to the public when it is not being used by our Snowsports team or Eagle Mount Adaptive program for lessons. Access to the Sunkid Surface Lift requires a regular paid lift ticket product.
In the summer of 2023, Red Lodge Mountain installed its newest chairlift, the Stache Express. The high-speed detachable triple chair replaces the existing Miami Beach lift and travels farther up the mountain in less time, providing better access to more terrain. The 2,558-foot-long lift features a vertical rise of 521 feet and can transport as many as 1,800 skiers and riders per hour.
The Stache Express is so named in dedication to Red Lodge Mountain General Manager Jeff Schmidt, who proudly wears a classic mountain mustache. Jeff has been RLM’s GM since 2009 and has led a number of notable on-mountain improvements and new lift installations during that time. Pictured above is Jeff with his wife and daughter during the ribbon cutting for the new lift installed in 2023.
