Antelope Butte

Antelope Butte presents a modest, yet promising, proposition for the discerning skier. With 1,000 feet of vertical and 225 skiable acres, it is well-suited for those who prefer a less tumultuous experience, or for families seeking a gentler introduction to the high country. Its 200 inches of annual snowfall suggest reasonably consistent conditions, ensuring a pleasant, if not extreme, day on the slopes.

For the road-tripper, Antelope Butte pairs naturally with Bear Canyon, a mere 51 miles north into Montana. This short drive offers a convenient multi-mountain excursion, traversing the open expanses typical of this rugged region. The journey itself is as much a part of the adventure as the skiing itself, a quiet communion with the landscape.

As an independent operation, Antelope Butte maintains its classic character. It also finds itself on the Indy Pass, offering a convenient option for those who partake in that network. There are no particular gotchas to report beyond its straightforward nature; indeed, its very simplicity is its strength.
