• This Road Trip Samples the Best of Montana Skiing, From Modern to Home-Grown (skimag.com) — Red Lodge gets star billing as the final stop on a Montana ski road trip, highlighting Red Lodge Mountain’s steep terrain, Winter Carnival, and lively Bierstube deck. The writer also spotlights downtown Red Lodge’s historic hotels, local breakfast spots, candy shop, and restaurants, painting the town as a foodie-friendly, old‑West basecamp to the Beartooths worth a winter visit.
   

• In a reversal, feds say newborns don't need hepatitis B vaccine (mtpr.org) — A pregnant Red Lodge resident is already planning to request a hepatitis B shot for her newborn despite a new federal advisory vote to delay the vaccine.
