Chief Joseph Pass

We invite you to ski on the best cross-country ski trails in Montana or Idaho, the Chief Joseph Trail System located at the southern end of the Bitterroot Valley in the National Forest near Lost Trail Pass, just east of the junction of Highways 93 and 43. This area receives very reliable snowfall every year, and is generally skiable earlier, later, and more often than any other groomed trails in the area. In partnership with the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and Lost Trail Ski Area.

Lake Como

For skiing closer to the Bitterroot valley check out the trails at Lake Como. This trail system is at lower elevation, so it does not receive as much snow and generally has a shorter season. The Como Trails are open to dogs, and there are designated single track trails for fat biking. In Partnership with the Bitterroot National Forest.
