Beartooth Basin<\/a>, Montana, is the only summer ski area in the United States, and it opened on Memorial Day this year.<\/strong> The mountain is geared towards intermediate to advanced skiers and riders due to its steep and difficult terrain with constantly changing conditions perched at 10,000 feet. The ski area has been hit by a number of unfortunate seasons where it wasn\u2019t even able to open or was only open for a short season due to lack of snow and weather conditions. Hopefully, its 2026 summer ski season will be better than past ones.<\/p>\n

Currently, the terrain conditions and base levels vary on the mountain, with some spots over 10 feet deep while others are wind-blown, bare spots in between.<\/strong> \u201cThis season is rolling really smooth, and the snow looks better than last year,\u201d Justin Modroo, Co-Owner of Beartooth Basin, told SnowBrains<\/em> in a phone interview. Modroo is one of five co-owners at Beartooth, and he has been hitting the steep terrain for over 40 years and has even competed as a professional big mountain skier.<\/p>\n
