There’s also snowshoeing and Nordic skiing on a variety of beautifully maintained trails. The kids can head along the Kids Trail through the woods where, hidden in the trees are festive characters (mascots) to delight them along the way.

You can have a snowmobile adventure or enjoy the thrills of a dog-sledding experience too. In the evenings, there is night skiing, or you can skate under the stars at the outdoor skating rink and warm up with a hot drink around a bonfire. There’s live music at the Stemwinder Bar and Grill and everyone in the family will enjoy the delicious fare at Montana’s Cookhouse at the ski base.
