Although it hasn’t been a
white winter this year, Montana remains the exception. Skiing conditions are fantastic in Glacier
Country, a region of Montana made up of the eight most northwestern counties.
It’s also home to seven ski resorts, including Big Mountain and Black Tail in
the Flathead Valley, Snowbowl and Marshall in Missoula, Lost Trail in the
Bitterroot Valley, Turner Mountain in Libby, and Lookout Pass located on the
border of Montana and Idaho.
