Discovery Ski Area

imageDiscovery Ski Area is known for their light powder, inexpensive prices, uncrowded slopes, delicious food, and friendly atmosphere. The terrain ranges from gentle beginner slopes to extreme skiing on the back side. There are 440 acres of skiable terrain equally divided between beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert slopes. The ski area is located 95 miles southeast of Missoula and 45 northwest of Butte.

Bridger Bowl

Bridger Bowl is one of the most unique winter recreation sites found anywhere in the Northern Rockies. This community gem is known for its incredible terrain spanning 1,240 ski able acres, and its reputation for spawning some of the best skiers in the world. Bridger Bowl is renown for offering one of the best ski experiences for the money anywhere in the world! Bridger Bowl Ski Area has provided quality service for over 44 years as a private nonprofit ski area. This status translates to incredible value and savings for skiers. The full day adult lift ticket is only $30!

Unspoiled charm and pristine alpine surroundings set Bridger Bowl apart from most other major ski resorts. The Bridger Range offers skiers classic Rocky Mountain features: large, snow-filled bowls, beautiful alpine glades, and wide open slopes. With an average snowfall of 350" and 2,000 vertical feet of lift-served terrain (plus an additional 500 vertical feet for those hiking to the ridge), Bridger Bowl offers an incredible variety of terrain for skiers of all abilities.

Big Sky Ski Resort

In 1995, the Lone Peak Tram was built - hoisting the courageous to 11,166 feet and giving Big Sky one of the nation's largest total vertical drops at 4,180 feet. Skiers and Snowboarders can enjoy 78 runs on over 3,500 ski able acres. The resort has set the standard for nonexistent lift lines and uncrowded slopes.

Big Sky has a variety of runs to choose from, ranging from the tame, wide beginner slopes of Southern Comfort to the steep chutes, narrow couloirs and wide open powder fields of Lone Peak, and plenty of intermediate terrain in between. Skiers of every age and ability will find terrain to suit their skill and comfort level. And most importantly, they'll be able to enjoy their favorite runs in relative solitude.

Shredders also have something to cheer about now: Big Sky's new state-of-the-art terrain park with half-pipe, board jumps, banked turns and kickers. The park will feature an inter-park rope tow, piped-in music and snowmaking capabilities.
