Naturally it&#8217;s tempting to mark your presence by affixing stickers to the nearest lift tower, and there&#8217;s plenty of that at Red Lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip1.jpg 333w, https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip1-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I spotted a couple of Huff Hills stickers among the pile plastered to one of the towers, so it&#8217;s obvious a few of our locals have made their mark in Montana&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2021\/01\/redlodge_stickers_ip2-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>But I would <strong>love<\/strong> to hear the story behind this one.  I&#8217;m not sure of its origin, and once again Googling the visible text on it gets me nowhere.  But I imagine the story behind it must be a real knee-slapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan was to bolt down Thursday, shred the gnar Friday, hit the hot tub and grill some monster steaks Friday night, and bolt back Saturday.  Perfect plan, perfectly executed.  And I managed to get some photos and video to scratch that photography itch, too&#8230;while getting a few laughs thanks to the sticker-slapping folks whose handiwork will live in infamy&#8230;at least until the towers get a fresh coat of paint, anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the view coming back down the hill at Red Lodge last weekend.
