Everyone starts at the top at Blacktail Mountain, a family-friendly ski and snowboard destination overlooking Flathead Lake near Lakeside, Montana. With its unique upside-down layout, guests park at the summit lodge and ski down the mountain before riding the lifts back up. The result? Spectacular views from the very start of the day.
With 1,440 feet of vertical drop, more than 1,000 acres of surrounding National Forest, and an average of 250 inches of natural snowfall annually, Blacktail offers a memorable Montana skiing and snowboarding experience. Enjoy a variety of terrain for all ability levels, ski and snowboard lessons, equipment rentals, and on-mountain dining and drinks at the summit lodge.
From first turns to full days on the slopes, Blacktail Mountain is a welcoming place for families, beginners, and seasoned skiers and snowboarders to enjoy winter in Northwest Montana.
