Smith River

Tenderfoot Creek
22 miles away
I'm a land owner on the Tenderfoot and I wouldn't recomend trying to float it. It is a fun place to go tubing and have short floats but it isn't a good place for an extended trip. There are numerous log jams and gravel bars to navigate. On the other hand The Smith River is awesome....

Showdown
49 miles away
Nestled in the heart of the Little Belt Mountains you'll find Showdown Ski Area. Since 1936, Showdown has been known for its family friendly atmosphere and amazing all natural snow. With a base area elevation that's higher than many summits and a location that puts us right in the middle of the winter storm paths, Showdown gets the good snow and keeps it longer. Great skiing is just part of what has kept Showdown going for over 70 years. The real secret to our success is the friendly folks that work and play here. George and his family have been running the show for over 30 years, and have helped generations of Montanans learn to love winter. Whether you' re a downhill demon or just looking for a fun place to have a drink, a laugh and soak in the sparkles of winter, Showdown is the place to play....

RODEO Park..The BIG Air. Monster jumps, long rails, always something new, interesting, and challenging. The home park of The Montana State Snowboard Championships.
WILDWOOD Park..A totally new concept..All features made of wood in a park located INSIDE a forest..WOW How Cool!
The MOUNT BELMONT Chairlift to the summit opens up over 80 trails suitable to more advanced enthusiasts. Some of these trails have been here for more than fifty years. Big drifts and sudden drops make the main mountain a perfect playground on the snow. Traditional tree lined trails for turning left and right are rare.
RAWHIDE GULCH is the remote side of the mountain featuring cliffs, cornices, chutes, and glades......and the tremendous expanse of THE BIG OPEN. When you venture into RAWHIDE GULCH often the only other people you see are the ones that came here with you. The RAWHIDE GULCH Chairlift quickly returns you to the main mountain at the end of your expedition.
