Ski Teton Pass - Choteau, Montana

By Special Advertiser, 2-18-08

Majestic mountains and vast plains. Western life and small-town hospitality. Cowboys and Indians. Experience the diversity of Teton Pass near Choteau, Montana, where these seamlessly blend into an affordable, family fun experience that will lighten your heart (plus your pocketbook) and put a smile on your face.

Situated just east of the Bob Marshall Wilderness area in the Rocky Mountain Front, Teton Pass’s pure powder—300 inches a year—comes solely from Mother Nature. The 26 trails—5 beginner, 9 intermediate and 12 advanced—seem to reach the sky at 7,200 feet, especially when contrasted against the vast plains of central Montana. Mother Nature was also kind enough to supply two runs that are natural half-pipes for the snowboarding enthusiast. As you swoosh down the Star Trails or drive up the road, watch for bighorn sheep, elk or deer—another gift from Mother Nature. You won’t have time to catch your breath before your chair comes around, so be sure to catch your breath and experience the beauty of the Front Range before you start down your carving your next trail.

Located 30 minutes from Choteau or 1 ½ hours from Great Falls (home to the Western artist Charlie Russell who captured the West on canvas), this ski hill is in the heart of cowboy country. You’ll see vast cattle ranches as you drive to Teton Pass. Once there, you’ll see cowboys in Carhartts and ski slopes named Tomahawk, Cherokee and Buffalo Jump. Kids clad in stocking caps and grins learning to ski on Papoose or Lost Scout Loop. Parents beam at the inexpensive cost of a family ski day.

Open Friday through Sunday, Teton Pass offers a special experience and a real taste of Montana’s heartland.  Western culture, majestic mountains and hometown hospitality – Teton Pass has a big heart along Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front.
