Find Ski Resorts
Whether you alpine, snowboard, or telemark ski, Missoula's ski resorts will offer you awesome terrain, powder, chutes, and vertical, without the crowds or costs of more popular destinations.
Montana Snowbowl (Missoula- 15 miles from downtown Missoula)
If you want to play with the locals, this is the spot. This mountain is big, you could ski open to close for weeks and still never take the same line twice. The trails are great for beginners, while the bowls will keep those with experience very happy all day long.
Discovery Ski Basin (Philipsburg-76 miles southeast of Missoula)
Discovery’s three faces offer a bit of everything, starting with gently rolling slopes to steeper groomed runs and moguls, before dropping off the backside for some serious vertical. Great for the whole family, but excellent for the advanced skier and rider.
