You’ve skied the rest, now come ski the best!

Bear Paw Ski Bowl

owned by The Chippewa Cree tribe, MT, on the Rocky Boy Reservation, we are open Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 am to 4 pm

There is a tow rope and one 2 person chair-lift at the area. From top to bottom the ski area is 860 vertical feet or 260m. 

Prices

Bear Paw $25, Over 80: FREE. "Friendly volunteers, fun fellow skiers, and tasty burgers." "Really great place to hit the slopes for a good price and some good food." "Hidden gem in Montana. It has to be a heavy snow year for them to open as they rely on nature alone. Went last weekend for the first time in a while and the conditions were unbelievable amazing!. All volunteer run, one lift, fun environment." "Well groomed. Multiple trails. Not crowded. We were very pleasantly surprised." "Knee deep steep and cheap baby"

Zermatt has 2,200m vertical drop skiing. $90

Vail, Colorado has a vertical drop of only 1,000 meters but costs $450 !

Jackson Hole, WY Vertical Drop: 1,300 meters

Aspen Snowmass Vertical 1300m $450 ! Corporate mountain.  The best resort I have ever skied. Have skied Europe and other North American resorts but Snowmass is still my favourite. Everything is very expensive, every restaurant looks the same. Aspen Village ski is overrated. The food at the mountain lodges is absolutely terrible. skiing is fantastic if you can handle the occasionally snooty attitude. I still like CB and Telluride better. Aspen blow Vail out of the water.
