In driving to the mountain top, regardless of whether you are an expert or novice skier/snowboarder, everyone starts at the top on Blacktail Mountain. Views from Flathead Lake to Glacier Park and of the Mission, Whitefish and Cabinet Ranges surround. On this "upside-down hill" you have a top to bottom run in before riding a chair!
Blacktail is located on Flathead National Forest land. Sustainable slopes.
