Teton
Pass is a ski area seldom seen by people from outside of
Montana. And that is not really surprising considering
the areas very out of the way location along the Rocky
Mountain Front. The nearest town to Teton Pass, Choteau,
is also not known as a ski town – as it sits out
in the prairie – about 15 miles east of the rugged
but beautiful Rocky Mountain Front.
Yet,
Teton Pass is one of the most enjoyable ski areas in Montana – at least when the weather is nice. Teton
Pass has a nice variety of terrain and is very affordably
priced. The views are fantastic at the ski area – and
the drive up to the mountain from Choteau is an absolutely
beautiful drive by any definition on a sunny day. And as
far as crowds go, forget it, there basically aren’t
any.

Teton
Pass ski area doesn’t have the “killer
vertical” those other ski areas in Montana and other
better known resorts have. The lift served vertical at Teton
Pass is only about 1000 feet. But, who cares? Basically,
the skiing is good, the crowds are light (or non-existent)
and the prices are right. As such, a skier, whether a beginner
or expert, will have an enjoyable day of skiing at Teton
Pass.
Like
most ski areas in Montana, Teton Pass is a ski area – not
a fancy resort. At Teton Pass, you won’t find condos,
apartments, gourmet dining or any of the other “slopeside” things
which are commonly found at better known ski resorts.

Indeed,
the base area at Teton Pass ski area consists of a small
parking lot, a tiny ski rental shop and a very nice
little lodge. The base lodge itself is a great lodge – small,
rustic and functional. The lodge also has a very nice bar
and tavern inside it too – making for a fine place
to pass the time away while you rest your legs after an energetic
day of skiing.
Well,
that’s enough talk about the base area and the
beautiful location that Teton Pass finds itself in. Let’s
get going and explore about what really counts – the
skiing.
