Squeeze in a day trip

Get up! Get on it!

If you are willing to make an early start, you can pack in a full day of skiing in the wilderness.

We'll load up a 4-wheel drive and meet you before dawn at Camp on the Boulder, 40 miles south of Big Timber on the main Boulder Road. From there, we'll take you beyond the end of the county-maintained road, into the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Right about the time we trade in the 4-wheel drive for the Snowcat, which will take you to the top of Independence Mountain or Baboon Mountain, the sun will be making its grande appearance in the high country.

At the 10,000-foot summit, choose your downhill destination. We'll pick you up at the bottom and return you to the top for another run. Expect to make 3 or 4 runs on a day trip, depending on your skill level and the snow conditions.

During the day, a hearty, hot lunch will be provided. Plan to return after dark in the late evening.

To maximize your time, consider an overnight package.
