showdown

Skiing is an expensive sport and Montana has some of the most expensive tickets and passes in America. However, there is a Montana ski area that has amazing terrain and is offering the best bargain in skiing we've ever seen. Cheap turns are a rare thing, but they can be found.

"Cows are fed - Time to shred" is on their t-shirts. It's been around since 1936 in the Montana county that out-of-staters regularly mispronounce. As the oldest ski area in the state, this stunning piece of 640 skiable acres has perfected the art of gathering local love. It's a fascinating rabbit hole to go down when reading reviews, comments, and messages about the ski area that started out so many years ago as "King's Hill Ski Area".
