The View from the top edge of the bowl at Great Divide, looking toward the Helena valley, where that huge cloud of haze, or smog, is on the horizon.
This is a nice family ski area, no crowds, clean air, no overnight facilities, they have skiing 5 days (Wed-Sun) and 2 nights per week, $38 all day lift ticket (was $26 last year but the USFS ordered extensive insect mitigation using logging and burning which cost the owner several hundred thousand dollars), in Dec-Jan the So Bowl has deep powder, the Z consists of old mine dumps and some of the steepest most difficult drop found anywhere, a nice rustic western-style mirrored bar, and skiing well into spring on the North Slope.
Skiing here during the week can be lonely, with only a few hundred skiers up on the mountain.
