Silver Mountain in the Bitterroot Range. Northwest and Idaho locals have skied here for years, delighting in 300 inches of annual snowfall back when they called it Jackass and lift tickets were 5 bucks. There are still some awfully sweet deals, but you don't have to drive up a snow covered mule trail to get here anymore.

Yes, it's shamefully easy to get 6,300 feet of altitude in a hurry. An interstate freeway leads straight to an 8-passenger gondola, and then you're gazing eagerly at 50 runs and 2,200 vertical. It's so simple. Instead of making your turns on icy mountain roads, you make them on the slopes – floating down Wardner Peak, tackling the North Face, or cruising Silver Belt.
