    i challenge you to find a worse ski resort website!

    http://montanasnowbowl.com/

    i mean seriously!?! its as if they don't want people to ski there.

    the snow report is only updated once. there is no snow report email.

    the lifts and trails open are never listed.

    the new webcam was pointed at the ground, and then the sky. its still not facing a lift or a trail.

    the pix in the photos link are all from the 80s.

    the graphics look like word art.

    the photo of the day is NEVER current.


    i'm a hater, i know.

    The local hill. My favorite part is that the home page requires a h-scroll (at least in my browser).

    just try figure out what time they open. their snow report multiplies the depth by how much they loose each day from the rain we've been getting,

    yeah, I think it snowed a coupe of nights ago. Probably groomed out by now, if not the sub 500' vertical is going to be really slow today...

    they must open at daylight, right? at least the site looks nice and is otherwise usable.

    This is my local area. We typically call them if we ever need information because they never update the site. If we are looking for a snow depth we have to call the cross country area on the other side of the mountain.
    Hogarock sucks anyways...

    According to the snowmaking page, the accomplish this with 20 top of the line snowguns and the effects of "temperature inversion"




    Doesn't that require some significant altitude?

    The site sucks, but the 3000' of vert probably doesn't.

    edit: nor do the $39 tickets.... thats cheap as chips mate.

    2600' vert. the bowl def has its perks, but it can also rain up there. just nice to know if its rain or snow before you drive up there.

    Too funny mtskier, when I saw the thread title (not paying attention to the poster) I was like, "oh I got one that takes the cake on shitiness". Apparently you already have it covered though. I share your same sentiments, its a poor excuse for information.

    The only thing I have found the webcam useful for is seeing if its sunny up there when you sitting in the murky fog of the valley. It blows my mind that the two people running that place can continue to do so.

    is there some law that every ski area in the midwest has to have a cut run named freefall?
