Stretching deep into the National Forest, Blacktail offers 29 runs spread over 1,000 skiable acres.

Blacktail has four ski lifts, one triple chair, two double chairs, and one handle tow. Blacktail benefits from 250” of fresh snow annually, and two (2) of the expert trails run through open tree fields that can be skied.
