RED LODGE NORDIC CENTER
GUIDELINES
BRTA promotes non-motorized winter recreation and transportation activities by leasing and operating the Red Lodge Nordic Center, located 2 miles west of Red Lodge off Highway 78. We’ve laid out over 15K of groomed trails to take advantage of the inspiring views and easy-going nature of the terrain. With a warming hut and restroom, this is a great place for families to get out and have some affordable fun!
​
Children's programs and ski clinics offered throughout the winter season. Touring skiers might want to kick it up a notch and learn skate skiing, a great exercise to maintain your fitness level through winter. The prepared tracks for classic skiing and the skating lanes allow you to go as fast as your athleticism allows.
​
Grooming typically takes place on Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Weather and conditions can change the grooming schedule so please refer to the Grooming Report for Nordic Center status.

West Fork Area
BRTA maintains the West Fork Road, a multi-use trail. West Fork is groomed on a weekly basis from Wild Bill Lake to Cascade Campground, beginning in early December and ending usually in April. We ask that all users use the appropriate lanes for recreation: skate ski, classic Nordic ski, fat bike, snow shoe, hiking, dog walking and some snowmobile use.
The West Fork does not require a fee for use; it is free in partnership with the Forest Service. Donations can be made to the BRTA to help us maintain and groom the area.
