Winter Recreation
Sheltered between two mountain ranges, winters in the Bitterroot Mountains are fairly mild, earning the valley the nickname "Banana Belt of the West." While snow rarely accumulates more than 6" on the valley floor, the annual average at Lost Trail Powder Mountain Ski Area is 300" of pristine powder. Winter sports enthusiasts find many outlets for their passion and visitors flock to the Bitterroot to enjoy the activities and the scenic beauty.
