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.

Groomed Trails for Everyone

Trail difficulties range from easy (green) to difficult (black) and are appropriate for every level of skier from beginner to expert. People of all ages and abilities use these trails (toddlers to retirees) for fun and fitness. Every trail junction is marked with a trail map—it’s almost impossible to get lost—and benches are placed at appropriate spots along the trails for those needing a short break or a place to sit while enjoying a snack or the wonderful views.
