Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area

Looking up Beartooth? A great start to planning your trip to one of the most unique, old school ski experiences of your life. Two poma lifts, open Memorial Day-early July with lots and lots of steep terrain and great views. Advanced and above skiers only to make it down into the bowl. It's steep! *Edit 06/17/2025: Thanks Austin and crew for another great couple of ski days at The Basin this spring! The place is still awesome, on a scale of 1-10 The vibes are a 13. If you want your best second ski season in June, this is the place to go and it's one of the most unique ski settings I've ever been to. Can't wait for the next time I get to go back!

Awesome drive up. Still skiing and snowboard first week of June. Perched at 10,900 feet along the breathtaking Beartooth Highway, is a unique gem for diehard skiers craving summer turns. North America’s only summer-only ski area, it offers a raw, no-frills experience that’s equal parts challenging and exhilarating. Open from late May to early July (snow permitting), the 600-acre terrain, served by two Doppelmayr platter lifts, boasts 1,000 vertical feet of steep slopes, cornices, and chutes, with pitches from 15° to 50°. It’s not beginner-friendly—advanced skills are a must. The vibe is laid-back, with a passionate community of ski bums and freestyle enthusiasts. No lodge or fancy amenities here; operations run out of trailers, and tickets (capped at 100 daily, $50 full-day, $40 half-day)

One of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I have never seen so many beautiful waterfalls, that you can get out and even touch. I highly suggest taking a few hours to do this road. There are so many beautiful pull-offs. It is definitely a must-see.

We visited during summer time. Fabulous view. Saw mountain goat. Very windy and cooler at the summit. Need extra layer of clothes.

The water was so clear and beautiful. The drive through the snow storm was a bit puckering but well worth the view. The scenery was breathtaking.
