7:13 PM LOCAL TIMEDiscovery Ski Area sits high above northwest Montana near Glacier National Park and the Flathead Valley. Covering roughly 8 square miles of alpine terrain, it's known for difficult steeps, expert-only routes, and a backcountry-focused atmosphere. The ski area caters to intermediate and advanced skiers, with bowl skiing, gladed runs, and heli-skiing access that reaches beyond the resort boundary. The base elevation hovers around 4,800 feet with summits climbing past 6,600 feet, and the resort makes use of natural terrain for long, sustained descents. The lift system is modest but efficient, aiming to maximize high-quality riding; facilities are simple but serve passionate skiers seeking an off-piste experience.
