Montana.  It means ‘mountain’ in Spanish – what more do you want? We have a state in the USA named ‘Mountain’.  What’s not to love about that?  Clearly, the place must have some gorgeous mountains and some great skiing.

It does.
Last year, Montana had a record snow year with Big Sky getting 460″ of snow.  Blower snow, that is.
Montana is a different universe.  It’s certainly our only state that feels a bit like another country.  Maybe not that exotic of a different country.  It feels like Canada, but that’s enough.  You can head to Montana, get a truly unique experience and ski some of the best mountains and snow of your life.
