Skiing in Montana hasn't changed. You'll find a local waiting for first chair and an old timer skiing the same hill they learned on as a kid. Become part of the tradition.
Watch the videoSkiing feels like it always has. Boots piled in the lodge, wood stove waiting to warm you, the same views for the last 20 years or more. Some places don't change. And that's how we like it.
Stay close to the lifts or in a small town where the locals can give you the best tips for the next day. Montana makes it easy to wake up, gear up and get on the snow fast.
Where to StayMontana ski towns run on wool sweaters, woodstoves and stories shared over laughter. Grab a drink, warm up, wander into a local spot and settle in. The day feels longer when you slow down.
