This is a small non-profit ski area with two chairs and a magic carpet. It is great value. Views are fabulous. You are right at the entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Terrain is varied ranging from beginner to true expert treed steeps. Here is the best thing about SG, it is only open Friday through Sunday (except during school holidays). The snow builds all week and Fridays are almost always powder days. There are no lift lines and powder takes several days to get skied off. There is a large quantity of groomed nordic, with stunning views along the river, and great back-country skiing. This is truly a locals mountain with the nearest accommodations an hour away in Cody. A great family/learn to ski mountain where you can turn your kids loose and they will always easily find their way back to the lodge. Love this place.
