Description

Expert thrills in a local’s hangout! Come to Discovery to experience what skiing Montana is all about! In the heart of southwestern Montana, this regional secret boasts great terrain, uncrowded slopes, amazing views, and a friendly atmosphere. Discovery is no ‘urbanized’ ski resort where you’re skiing past everyone’s condo windows! You’re in Montana, and it’s BIG country. Some days the only sounds are from the joy of your friends on the slopes and the occasional ‘scree’ of a circling hawk. Discovery boasts six lifts and 1670 feet of vertical starting from a base elevation of 6480 feet. The ski area’s 614 skiable acres are spread over 2100 acres of National Forest. Our two north-facing bowls offer some of the steepest lift-served skiing around. Extensive frontside faces offer excellent beginner and intermediate runs. Our terrain truly offers something for everyone - tree skiing, powder bowls, mogul-runs, groomed trails and great boarding air. Lessons, rentals, and cross-country skiing are available for all ages and abilities. Off the slopes enjoy fantastic food in Discovery’s full service cafeteria and bar. And our unbelievable prices make it possible to bring the whole family! Located just 90 miles east of Missoula and 23 miles west of Anaconda on the Pintlar Scenic Route, great Ski & Stay Packages are available at nearby hotels and bed & breakfasts in the historic mining towns of Anaconda, Philipsburg and Butte. Bus transportation is available from Butte and Anaconda on weekends and holidays. One visit will make you a believer!
