HISTORY OF RED LODGE MOUNTAIN RESORT |
|||
In the late 1950’s, an enthusiastic group of Red Lodge and Billings skiers formed Grizzly Peak, Inc. The group raised $250,000 through stock sales to develop a ski resort. Red Lodge Grizzly Peak opened on January 2, 1960, with one double chair, a lodge and three trails. |
|||
Over the next few years, the ski area continued to expand, adding lifts and more trails. The word was spreading throughout the region that Red Lodge Mountain was a fun place to ski and the old mining town of Red Lodge was full of western hospitality and colorful characters. |
|||
The ski area continued to grow with the addition in 1983 of the Winter Sports Center and the replacement of Midway Lodge in 1986. In the spring of 1994, Red Lodge Mountain purchased the Red Lodge Golf Course and it became the perfect business complement for the ski business. This 18-hole championship golf course and substantial real estate development has offered more and varied work opportunities for our seasonal and year-round employees. |
|||
In the summer of 1996, the resort undertook the most aggressive expansion in its history and opened the Cole Creek area which included two new high-speed detachable quad chairlifts, 18 new slopes and trails, a complete overhaul of the mountain’s snowmaking system and other improvements to the on-mountain skiing experience. |
|||
Red Lodge Mountain Resort opened its first snowboard park in 1996. This park attracted so many snowboarders that it was expanded and opened to skiers in 1999. |
