Just south of Lewiston, Montana, lies one of Montana’s least known mountain ranges, the Big Snowy Mountains. They aren’t known to receive tons of snow, they aren’t massive, and they really do just seem to pop out from the middle of nowhere. But they’re there, and that means someone has probably at least dreamt of skiing them.
Seeking out online information on ski runs in those mountains is fruitless. There’s little (if any) information, and if it weren’t for a comment on a TikTok video, I’d be convinced nobody had ever skied in there before this crew. Having done the same research and coming up similarly empty, Jordan Skattum, Nathan Saier, and Benjamin Flook set out to find ski lines in the mountain range.
“Roadside Attractions is a series dedicated to discovering hidden mountain ranges that few, if any, have skied. Each episode takes you to remote locations where we camp at the base of these untouched ranges and spend weeks exploring their potential. In Episode 1, we dive headfirst into the Big Snowy Mountains, just south of Lewistown, MT. Known neither for heavy snowfalls nor skiing, we set out on an adventure to see if it’s possible to get some turns in this unique range.“
