Map of Cross Country Ski Areas in Montana

All of Montana's cross-country ski areas are clustered in the more mountainous western half of the state. Many of the trails are in national forests, and some are not groomed.

Trail ratings are submitted by visitors to this site who have skied the trails and thus are subjective. You can rate the trails at an area that you have visited by clicking on the "Rate this Area" link found under that area's listing.

Backcountry Skiing

Trails in many of Montana's national forests are suitable for backcountry skiing. Dozens of backcountry cabins are available for rent from the forest service at reasonable rates. Pick up a map of National Forest trails at the nearest ranger station as maps are seldom available at the trailhead. When skiing in backcountry areas, it is especially important to follow the basic winter safety precautions.

CAUTION Avalanche Danger: Before skiing on backcountry trails in mountainous areas, take the necessary avalanche safety precautions.
