I know many people going to school there and a couple of skiers but they aren't on ns and i'm going to bozeman.
Basically for skiing the is:
Snowbowl- just outside of town so its easy to just hop up there for a halfday, not much terrain
Discovery- is about 60-70 miles it has a good amount of terrain and is amazing on rare days when it snows.
Lost Trail- All i have to say is SNOW there is never a shortage for them

There is some sick back country in the missoula area you just need to find it

Lost Trail is the most underrated ski area in Montana. Holds pow forever, sick terrain, and a killer vibe. I saw the owner in his ski boots and Carhartts at a BBQ, I wish Big Mtn could be like that....

snowbowl is pretty much the worst mountain in the state. lookout gets boring really fast and Losttrail is pretty big and has some good terrain but its 2 hours away from missoula.

how would you know unless you live in one of the towns?  The Uof M campus is sick, but I really don't like the rest of missoula.  It seems kind of dirty.  MSU is where the skiing is found though.

yeah you're right, you probably shouldnt listen to people that have spent most of their life in Montana. Skiing around Bozeman (bridger, big sky, moonlight) is way gnarlier than missoula

If you have a car or can find a ride, Big Mtn is lightyears better than Snowbowl.
