Ski Discovery MT 3/21/13

[Powderqueen]

Ski Discovery is a gem, off the beaten path, with a 2400 vertical drop and a very steep backside. We were there on a Wednesday and there were barely 100 people there and they were not skiing where we were skiing. We skied as much untouched powder as our legs allowed after 4 days of skiing.

Woah woah woah, shhhhhhush.

I was there that day too, been here for a couple weeks, very warm now.

I'd be absolutely astonished if I did not see you guys back on Limelight. Trust me, that day was busy, I skied Limelight this week and for 90 minutes one morning I saw one patroller!

Did you stop by the Sunshine Station?

I think Disco is so far from anything that it will never be very busy. we didn't see anyone on Limelight. I think there were more acres per skier than at Big Sky, which has over 5500 acres!!

We were going to stay in Philipsburg, but when we found this deal at the Trade Winds in Anaconda, we decided to go for it.

As noted before, if you look at a map Discovery is the most convenient stop if you want to break up the drive from anywhere in the interior Northwest to Bozeman. I'm guessing the local population base for the weekends is smaller than Snowbowl's or Bridger's though.

We had to choose between Disco and Lost Trail and decided on Disco for it's proximity to our next destination. Also, my traveling companions were there last year and Limelight was not running. They really wanted to check it out. With the new snow, and fewer miles to drive, plus the $49 ski n stay deal, it just couldn't be beat. As you can see from the pix, the terrain is steep and there's no competition for fresh snow.

By what I am told the busiest day this year had ~2000 people.

I won't be heading to Utah this winter, I am spending the last week skiing for free at Big Sky.

Saturdays with good snow are the only days that Disco has "crowds".

Good idea! Montana rocks!! I hope you get more powder and sunny weather!!

We'll miss seeing you down here, but there's always another year.
