 Montana Skiing is the Best

 

Snow Ski / Big Mountain Ski Resort

 

Maybe it's because we're covered in white. Or maybe it's because we have short lift lines.  Whatever the reason; we invite you to enjoy our winterpine and spruce dusted with luxurious snow, gorgeous mountains sparkling in the sunlight. And although there's a nip in the air, you won't find a warmer welcome anywhere. Except maybe in heaven.

Northwest Montana Winter activities

 

 

Montana Winter Lookout 

 

  

Lincoln County Northwest Montana

  

Usually just before Thanksgiving the occasional snows of late Fall begin to stay on the ground, not just in the high country, but in the valleys too.

 

 

 

The majority of precipitation falls in the form of snow. In earlier times there always were a few hardy sorts who snowshoed their trap lines or hunted mountain lion but in recent years more people living near the National Forest have learned to appreciate the snow, and winter no longer constrains outdoor activities.

 

Dog Sledding  Northwest Montana 

 

Dog sledding is becoming more popular but the snowmobile brings out many of today's winter recreationists.

 

 

With its many miles of unplowed roads, the Kootenai National Forest offers the snowmobiler all the ingredients for memorable outings - lots of snow, roads to vantage points with broad panoramas, groomed trails and moderate winter temperatures.

 

Snowmobile  Northwest Montana 

Although somewhat more limited by access and distance than snowmobilers, cross-country skiing is becoming a more important form of recreation. Ski tourers enjoy the fact that their necessary ingredients are often as close as their back door, and those same unplowed roads plus many trails offer excellent skiing.
