"Montana is world-renowned for its big, open spaces - and thankfully, the same applies to most of its ski resorts. If the endless lift lines in Tahoe, Colorado, or Utah have you down, may we recommend checking out the scene in the third least-populated US state? There, you're liable to find terrain for every taste, cuisine ranging from humble and hearty to fine-dining, and a vast array of accommodations."
"The ski scene has experienced significant growth in the last few years, but the remoteness of the state remains, creating the feeling of a true getaway. Montana's northern latitude ensures it gets absolutely blanketed with snow every winter (with low temperatures keeping it all fresh powder for days), and the tall, rocky peaks cradle the snow like a catcher's glove."
Montana offers expansive, less-crowded ski terrain with abundant powder driven by northern latitude and cold temperatures. Tall, rocky peaks trap and preserve deep snowpacks, producing long-lasting fresh powder. The state’s remoteness creates a genuine getaway feel despite recent ski-scene growth. Resort options cover beginner-friendly areas, lively après scenes, and extensive backcountry access. Big Sky Resort spans 5,850 skiable acres and averages roughly 400 inches of snow annually, providing both plenty of green and blue runs and challenging triple-black chutes. Additional highlighted resorts include Montana Snowbowl and Whitefish Mountain Resort for varied skier preferences.
