Montana Skiing with Warren Miller

After traveling the road for 55 years with my skis and my cameras to share the freedom of skiing with the rest of the world, I was invited to Montana for the first time. It was a unique invitation to the state because when I arrived there, I first skied on a 14,000-acre piece of private property with three different mountains on it. When I discovered what Montana had to offer, Laurie and I quit traveling. That was in 1997. I have since discovered a few things about the state and the numbers fit in with the current deluge of numbers we watch on TV.

Montana is the fourth-largest state in America behind Alaska, Texas, and California. Before I go too far, consider that I was born a couple of miles from Hollywood. In those days, Los Angeles only had about 1 million people in it and you could ranch land in the San Fernando Valley for as low as $50 an acre.

Times change and in this fourth-largest state, Montana, we have 16 ski resorts with at least one chairlift each. There are so few people here that only four of the ski resorts are open seven days a week.
