We have a couple of free days at Red Lodge with our Whitefish season passes and our schedule and route can be arranged to get there at the end of a driving day (this would be Jan 20th). We will be coming from Silverthorn CO straight up through Wyoming, at least that's what Google Maps is suggesting. This is not a destination so much as a handy place to break up the trip and ski a lesser known place for free which I always enjoy.
So two questions:
Any guidance as to the mountain and skiing? We are intermediate skiers and are easily amused.
Any comments on the Silverthorn - Red Lodge drive? It looks like mostly, if not entirely, 2 lane highway in a very remote area. The Subie is reliable and has snow tires but I prefer not to freeze to death in the middle of Wyoming if I can help it. We are smart enough to watch the weather and back off if needed but it can get sketchy once you're committed.
Thanks in advance...
