Montana
Vast and uncrowded, with extensive and varied terrain

Pros:

  • Vast terrain, with nearly 6,000 skiable acres across varied mountain areas
  • Superb terrain variety, from broad and gentle beginner trails, long intermediate cruisers, to epic bowls and gladed runs, and pulse-pounding expert terrain
  • Less crowded than other major-league resorts
  • Iconic scenery, with Lone Peak soaring above the surroundings

Cons:

  • Missing the quaint mountain village aesthetic typically found at resorts of this caliber
  • The top 1/3 of the mountain is accessible only by a tram ride at an additional cost and typically long wait time
