Family Getaway

Montana has an unpretentious, accessible ski culture that’s ideal for families that want a true winter experience. Ski areas across the state offer affordable lodging and package rates that include rentals and lessons, and varied terrain that suits everyone’s needs. Discovery Ski Area, 18 miles south of Philipsburg, and Red Lodge Mountain, about 60 miles southwest of Billings in the Beartooth Mountains, are two quaint ski areas—especially for kids. Both are situated near charming Western towns and have fun events, slopes, and amenities the whole family will enjoy.
