Montucky Park Pow: Fourth Annual Beartooth Summer Session Announced

For most folks, thoughts of summer shredding are limited to Northwest glaciers, trips to Mt. Hood and Whistler. But there’s another spot for sunshine park pow and shuttle-accessed BC laps…Beartooth Basin Ski Area, near Red Lodge Montana, for the fouth annual Beartooth Summer Session.

Going down from June 5th to 8th, the Summer Session takes place just 25 miles out of Red Lodge. Presented by ON3P skis (who will have free demos at the event), it includes 1,000 feet of lift-accessed park laps and, for the first time, 3,000-foot of backcountry corn via truck shuttle and one helluva good time. Tickets are $40, but sign up soon–spots are limited.

It’s that time of year again – time to grab the sunscreen, fishing and camping gear, load up the car with your buddies, and head out to Montana to go…skiing? That’s right, the Fourth Annual Beartooth Summer Session is back and better than ever. Beartooth Basin Ski Area plays host to North America’s premier public ski session, June 5th-8th, on Beartooth Pass, 25 miles south of Red Lodge, Montana.

Just one of two lift accessed summer ski areas in the US, Beartooth Basin features nearly 1,000 vertical feet of terrain peppered with cliffs, chutes, and cornice drops. Add an expertly crafted park, shuttle-accessible backcountry, and the steepest summer skiing in North America and you have the Beartooth Summer Session – a four day event providing steep, lift served skiing to the masses in one of the most beautiful and rugged parts of the country. With $40 discounted lift tickets and ON3P Skis in attendance to put on a free public demo, there is no better place to be.

We are proud to announce a three year partnership between Booster Strap and Beartooth Summer Session. The Booster Strap Big Mountain Slopestyle goes down Saturday, June 7th with athletes showcasing their skills in a venue featuring both big mountain and park. Following the contest is the Lagunitas Brewing After Party in Red Lodge for those who are 21+. After party venue is TBA.

The Beartooth Summer Session is teaming up with Beartooth Mountain Guides to organize a 3,000 vertical foot road lap descent from the ski area with shuttle service back to the lifts.

“It’s the most snow we have seen in the last decade” says Beartooth Basin Operations Manager, Austin Hart.

**A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPOTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE TO COVER THE SHUTTLE SERVICE** **MUST HAVE APPROPRIATE BACKCOUNTRY GEAR AND SUFFICIENT BACKCOUNTRY KNOWLEDGE TO PARTICIPATE**
