Montana, with steep untouched slopes of snow and more acres per skier than most places, is a dream for skiing enthusiasts from around the world. There are also wide-open groomers for velvety smooth stretches of snow where both novices and advanced skiers can have fun. Whitefish Mountain, with its deep snowy powder, can be very welcoming for those who dislike long lift lines. Or you could choose to ski at Big Sky Resort, which has 34 chairlifts and is close to Lone Peak.

From going skiing to taking a dog sled adventure, Montana offers everything a snow enthusiast could need. But the best part yet of planning your vacation is that most accommodations have ski-in ski-out facilities and are at a walkable distance from chair lifts.
