Scenic USA - Montana Snowbowl Peak 6 |
Photos by Jim Hug Jim's Montana Snowbowl Review |
Montana's Glacier Country is set in a dramatic mix of magnificent mountain peaks, sweeping valleys, picturesque lakes and cool mountain streams. Here in Missoula County and south of Flathead Lake,
the city of Missoula is found at the head of the Bitterroot Valley and positioned between the Rocky Mountains and the Bitterroot Range. Winter sports enthusiasts find the Montana Snowbowl Ski Area just eight miles north of Missoula. The ski area, noted for its easy access, is spread over 950 acres with over half designated as glade skiing. Averaging a 300 inch blanket of white each year, Snowbowl will put you in the powder. The terrain, featuring Montana's greatest 2600 foot vertical drop, offers a challenge to those seeking the extreme. Beginner and intermediate sections are also set aside for the average skier.
Peak 6, on the fringes of Snowbowl, entices some skiers to enjoy the fresh powder in an out-of-bounds area. Gelandesprung Lodge, packed with European style amenities, looks up toward the rather intimidating bowl and Big Sky Mountain. With an elevation topped out at 7500 feet, skiing Snowlbowl will provide plenty of fresh alpine air.
