It's not the amount of lifts you pay for, it's the kick a*s terrain! I would even say, for ONLY having 2 lifts you couldn't ask for more or bettter terrain! As far as the service goes, everyone is SUPER friendly, unless you're an a*s hole to them like this guy in the post above most likely is! The lift... More

Great ski area, especially if you like the steeps. Not the best for families, but certainly doable. I took my five year old son there and had a blast. Lifts are old and slow, but you can access a lot of terrain with just the two lifts. Great bar, great food, great apres ski scene. Can be crowded on weekends,... More

I grew up skiing here over 15 years very overpriced for the amount of lifts and terrible service. Always nervous on the lifts and the operators seem buzzed or high. Beautiful mountain though only reason why i go. Check out the bowls and paradise is breathtaking on a sunny day. More

NOT for beginners - this is a black diamond paradise. 20 minutes from town - get ready to go straight up and down. Spectacular views from the top and serious skiers abound. If you like a challenge and want to get away for a few short hours - this is the place to go. More

snowbowl has wonderful very advanced skiing terrain and low prices. however, that is where its advantages stop. their service often rises to the level of spectacularly bad. they almost never answer their phone. they return calls at best sporadically. on huge event days they will sometimes "forget" to schedule enough window ticket sellers. their lodge is almost entirely unimproved since...

My brother took us here when we were visiting. Took the chair life up, for an amazing view of Missoula! Played some frolf on top o the mountain. Then came down for some daytime cocktails (great bloody mary!) and some amazing pizza!! Being from Chicago, I'll say it was pretty darn good! More

This is a great little family outing just outside of Missoula. Take the chairlift up the mountain for beautiful views of the valley. We saw lots of wildflowers and even a little snow in July! The mountain bikers and digglers looked like they were having a blast! More
