Beartooth Pass Skiing History
Austrians Pepi Gramshammer, Eric Sailer, and Anderi Molterer founded Beartooth Pass ski area in 1966 to coach American Olympic hopefuls, attracting elite European Olympic skiers and coaches. Lift towers were erected in 1994 where before, portable lifts were used, along with the rear wheel of a Jeep to power a rope tow.
In 2002, Rob Hart and Joe Maxwell, of Red Lodge, and former Red Lodge resident Kurt Hallock, bought the operating permit and two ski lifts from Shoshone National Forest Service.
