Sweet Spots for New Missoulians

Marshal Mountain:
Drive into East Missoula, see the golf course on your right, take the axis road all the way up
Best terrain park in town, built by community, ski at your own risk (if you're going to build jumps, please make sure the landing is somewhat safe)
Easy skin up, maybe Blue Square on the way down, pretty flat cruising, on a pow day, go skiers right where it's steeper, but not too far into the valley (you 100% will get stuck, I've explored)
Snowbowl:
Pretty overpriced for the little snow
Lifts are slow
I only go on POW days or event days or when I skin up
Axis road sucks, 4x4 is a must
Left side of main chair (woods) pretty gnarly cliffs with good landings. Make sure to scope it out before you send, make sure snow is good
Right side off main chair (cliff section), everything goes (with enough snow), there's a sick rock located in the woods under the cliffs, easily 20' of air time, landing is perfect
Lolo Pass area:
Best snow we have for 1 hr drive
Bunch of good pull off spots to park and hike up
Good to build jumps for practicing tricks (without a far hike in)
Can choose the difficulty on the way down, rocks on top might be a Double Black
Definitely recommend
