The rugged, humble nature of Cooke City’s mountains, as well as its excellent powder, make it a true backcountry mecca. Located next to the northeast entrance of Yellowstone Park, this area gets the most snow out of any region in Southwest Montana. Also, the combination of storms that frequently sweep through the nearby Snake River Basin and the cold, high peaks means abundant, low-density snow and phenomenal ski quality! Cooke City’s slopes aren’t lacking in the diversity department either – areas like Republic and Sheep Creek provide an array of options for beginners, while the more advanced backcountry skiers will find their place in the higher alpine tours in the Beartooth mountains. If you’re looking for a place to spice up your AIARE education, Cooke City’s snowy slopes are a no-brainer!
