As the 2020-21 season opens, the lodge interior is closed except for access to bathrooms and rental shop, and they are serving a limited menu and cans of beer outdoors on the deck. I was very happy to discover that they ARE serving their DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies!

Possibly my new favorite. My only con would be that a few of the cat tracks aren’t very conducive to snowboarders. However, maybe proper wax for the given temps would help a lot. Either way, this place is still awesome.

Disco is great. Great people, great terrain. Bring your A Game and send it off the backside.

Im sure I would have loved biking here, we called and checked there website before visiting to insure they would be open, they said they would be. We drove 4hrs only to find they were closed, there were multiple people there too that were in they same boat we were.

Although my kids all learned to ski here and we used to ski Disco every weekend, I hadn’t been here in a few years. There are a few new improvements including a warming hut at the parking area for the cross country trails, and you can now access the hill from the Philipsburg side. All in all, it remains largely the same, which is a good thing. Family friendly, affordable, terrain for every level of skier, great food, and the cookies......

Great hometown ski area. Something for everyone huge beginner area. Great groomed runs and some incredible powder skiing.

Inexpensive Price for an all area pass especially the senior pass $38 nice surprise. Several groomed black diamond runs. The double blacks were bumped out so I didn’t try them. Need a powder day for me. Only minus is the slow chairs. The cafe has great food and service. We were there mid week so no crowd.

This is a great family resort. Its reasonably priced and offers terrain for all levels of skiing and snowboarding. They have a bunny hill and conveyor belt for the beginner. Visit during the week for great snow and no lines.

I have skied across the globe and Discovery is one of the great gems in the ski world! The Pitcher Family does an outstanding job providing a great experience in every way. They offer an easy and friendly learning environment for new skiers as well as some great steeps for experts. Discovery grooms most runs every single day to ensure excellent conditions and can do more with less snow than anyone. The food is fantastic and inexpensive with homemade rolls, soups, cookies and specials you wont find elsewhere. Weekdays are like a private club with no line even on powder days. When I die and go to heaven, I expect it to include a seasons pass at Discovery.

While the hill is good when they have snow, their customer service sucks. After buying 2 season passes a year for over 10 years, they told me no when I requested a credit for my sons pass due to shoulder surgery. They said absolutely no refunds after Dec 31 , even though his doctors recomendation & note was dated Jan 15. I guess they dont believe in supporting the people that support them.

Amazing skiing especially on winning ridge.

This was a really fun resort. The backside has very steep runs and the lifts connect together very well. For less that $60 a ticket it is a great deal as the resort has a lot of lifts and short lift lines. It was a great resort and I cannot recommended it enough.

Great ski area, levels for all ages and abilities. Only complaint is the service in the cafeteria, lines can stretch the length of the building. Good food but they need to work with a student in industrial engineering from MSU to improve efficiency. It would help them and the customer. Weve started bringing our own food, and will continue to enjoy the skiing.

Always a great hill so long as the snow is good. Its a good value too, especially compared to many other ski hills in Montana. Great long runs and never a wait at the lift.

My girls had so much fun! Prices are reasonable and the staff was great!

This is a great ski resort. Isn’t blown up by tourists so you feel like you have the mountain to yourself. Do t forget to try their chocolate ship cookies. They are famous.

Some staff are generally rude and while some are awesome, some like to pick on snowboarders for no apparent reason. Like making them do stupid stuff to their bindings or telling them to take off ski packs, when skiers are not told to remove them. It would be different if they were consistent, but watched this happen all day when we were there. These two would nitpick snowboarders but skiers are free to do what they like. I wasnt going to review but Google asked me to and it irritated me weeks later that two of the lift operators were like this.The food on the other hand is pretty good and decently prices. The other staff were great and friendly around the lodge. They dont have Wi-Fi but can pick up cell service in spots. The mountain and area is pretty good and well maintained. We would come back, if the few staff hadnt been such jerks to only snowboarders.

The bike park is closed for a month in the middle of summer. Very disappointing.

Our fave. Rarely lines. Views for days. Great staff. Good food at decent prices

Fantastic Skiing. Super family friendly. Amazing staff. Best Value Ever

Great experience with Kinderski! My son loved it and built his confidence in just one day. Great runs for myself and 2 older kids also!

Great skiing for families! Their cafeteria was awesome and prices for skiing and food were reasonable. Will definitely be back.

This is the best last pure ski hill in Montana! Perfectly nestled between Philipsburg and Anaconda, Discovery has great runs, beautiful views and excellent maintained lifts. My favorite aspect of this hill is the tremendous customer service from all of their employees, who are knowledgeable, efficient and clearly enjoy their jobs.

Everyone from the front office, to the retail door and everyone working with skis poles and Boots and lets not forget the chair lift operators and safety patrol. Thank you had a great time cant wait to come back another year and do it again.

Very good for kids to learn to ski.

Great experience at Discovery! Super thankful for the great people in the rental shop for giving me a hand with my snowboard after having difficulties.

Great ski resort. I had a great time with my kids.

Family-owned and operated, welcoming service with respect for ALL! Ski, board, cross country....of any age. Good food and local beers...THE BEST!

One of the only places still open. Blue bird day!

Always reccomend. Such a fun place to Ski and Snowboard. Prices are reasonable and they take decent care of the trails!

Ive been going to this ski hill ever since i was around 4, its a great family place. The people are wonderful and the food is amazing.

I love all the hills they so great to sky on I love the discovery hills you need to go check it out go go go go go.

Excellent local ski resort. The terrain is nicely divided between front and backside for easier and harder terrains, respectfully. While Discovery does not have the longest slopes to roam, the lift lines are short and I was able to ski hard all day without boredom. The chili in the bases dining hall is pretty good too! Grab a beer while youre there.

Fun place to go nice people to help and just an all around good atmosphere. Also the food is amazing

Good mountain for all level of riders!

Love this place, been going here since I was a youngster will always be a favorite!

Great hill, really solid double and triple blacks in the back. A good advanced hill love it all. The owners and some of the staff are incredibly rude and they dont discount tickets late season like a lot of places but other than that great!

No lines to wait in, lots of ski area and inexpensive rent, lifts and equipment were great instructors are helpful and phenomenal teaching you

Great snow in February. Best bakery in Montana

Great ski resort, always something for everyone. This would be a great place for someone to learn how to ski.

Sunshine, snow, grooming, homemade soup, view to die for. What could be better?

I should say its horrible to keep this place to ourselves, but it really is an awesome ski hill with great variety for all levels. Bunny hill to multiple double blacks. The views are incredible (it is Montana, after all), and their cookies after a long day of skiing is cookie heaven. If you dont want to ski, stick around for the food. Yum! Really, the only downside is they REALLY need a larger area for those brown bagging it. They use the same area for donning and doffing equipment. It gets VERY crowded.

What a blast helping to chaperone Graces ski trip at Discovery!!! I havent been here (or skiing in general) in 10 years when I used to come with Zac starting when he was 5. Only biffed it twice! The worst part for a 6 foot tall woman is getting back up again. Lol.

Great Family place. Snow is good!

Discovery ski area has a level for every family member. Highly recommend this ski area

Due to mismanagement, on weekends:You will have super long waits if u wanna rent equipment or want private lesson (for kids) Between 8:30 -11amAlso HUGE lines to get lunch (AVOID “GRILL” on weekends for lunch 11-2).Kids “magic carpet ride” is somewhat short and not steep enough, but OK for a toddlers very first few runs.Awesome kids bunny slope and very very good teachers in kids program, hence the 3 stars.

Great snow, with all levels of runs fit for everyone!

Love this ski hill, good family place to ski, beautiful views

Good ski area, not crowded, and not expensive. I went on a bad day, but Ive been there on good days and its totally worth it.

Just really disappointing all together. Luckily, there are a ton of other ski areas.

I had purchased 2 lift tickets online and the transaction was held twice causing me to overdraft. I work in the hospitality industry so I understand the debit cards can be this way. I understand that the authorization would be released and I didnt want to complain about it because again, I too work in this industry and its not fair to the person who gets yelled at for this. Anyways, I went today and got my passes and went up the easy chair. Right when getting off the chair I fell and completely ripped my pants, so badly that I was not able to continue the day. They could not offer a refund, not even allow me to use my tickets for another day. The way this was handled was awful. No empathy givin-just this lady saying that she cant do anything for me. Even offing a discount on pants in the shop wouldve been a great service recovery tactic. Everything up here was great but I am upset that I spent $100, and having them authorize $200 causing my bank to go negative with overdraft fees, all for ONE ride up the chair lift and a long walk down. I probably will never go back based on the lack of service and customer care.

Long runs, steep slopes, powder pretty frequently. Bring your A game, some fun challenging runs. If Im honest, the lodge is a madhouse but I didnt come for that.

I loved my day skiing at Discovery. One of the best powder days I have ever had.

Amazing customer service, even when they are super busy. Very helpful, good was amazing, and had an overall good time. Been here a few times and theyve been amazing every time

Awesome mountain to ski, great lift ticket prices delicious food in the lodge. Cant wait to go again. Gotta try their cookies, yummy!

The ski instructors are very friendly and know what theyre doing.

A big mountain with great runs!

Friendly mountain. It definitely doesn’t get the most powder in Montana, but the season pass deal is great and the mountain is a ton of fun.

Small feel, big mountain. Perfect day trip.

Excellent variety of skiing for all skill levels, strikes a great balance between small hill feel and big hill terrain. Tickets are reasonable and the grooming is exceptional.

Hidden Gem! Love this place!!

Great ski area. Plenty of range of difficulty of runs, and great food, although sometimes a bit overpriced.

Great mountain really enjoyed it. It felt like a private resort on a Tuesday no one was here!

Fun ski area with a great low-key atmosphere!

Kinderski staff was very friendly! My kids had a great day and were skiing by themselves after 1 lesson! Great instructors! Slopes were great too!

Posting specifically for the Kinder Ski (ages 4-6). Weve used their lessons for several seasons, and they do a great job. The staff/ instructors are all very friendly, patient, and professional. They take the time to ensure each child is assigned to the appropriate skill level and adjust if necessary. Our daughter continues to learn new skills and has a great time each time she is there. Unfortunately shell be too old for Kinder Ski next season, but weve had a positive experience with their services.

Fantastic budget ski destination!

What a great ski area! We had a blast. Nice steady, long runs top to bottom.

This famy run ski area is a fantastic! A low key area with terrain for everyone-steep to well groomed beginner slopes. It has awesome views as well as home made food.

Great smaller ski area. Lots of variety so you never feel overwhelmed with people on the weekends. Wonderful fresh cookies!

Great slopes, snow and people. We cross country skiing today, but the downhill front and back (for the adventurous) are way fun too.

Great family mountain with excellent terrain options from beginner to expert. Love the fall lines! The cookies are really good in the cafeteria, a must as well.

Not as mich snow as i would like but it was a blast.

This is probably the best bang for your buck in Southwest Montana! So many trails for a reasonable price. And the cookies upstairs are fantastic!

Awesome skiing, the best chocolate chip cookies in Montana!

My favorite place to ski so far

Family friendly! Slopes/trails that range from beginner (orange square or green circle) to expert (double black diamond)! Very easy to navigate through the trails, which are long and good for all skiers / snowboarders. The lodge has great service, family friendly as well, and has good food at good prices! Ski shop takes care of all needs, and is very helpful!

Dont do kinderski unless you want your child to stand around for two hours. No one bothered to call the next day to discuss this concern as they said they would. Discussed with the owner and he made me feel bad for calling. Terrible experience. Do not recommend unless you want instructors to make your kid cry then ignore them. Incredible waste of money with the worst customer service and complete disregard for the well being of children Ive ever experienced.

Best place to take new skiers! Great for learning, fun for old timers, and if you have never had the cookies or Bloody Mary’s in the lodge, you NEED to!

What skiing is supposed to be about. Fun.

Super fun place to ski with great access to a variety of terrain options from easy to steep. Also a great selection of tree skiing on various aspects. Theres never a bad time to come here.

Great snow. No lift lines (Friday). Nice people!

Really great place to ski or board. Cafeteria could use some work but overall a great place!

Unbelievable terrain, some of the most agressive skiing in Montana on the backside. If you look at the trail map youll notice they are mostly all double blacks. These are *real* double blacks. Serciced by a super fun quick chair lift called limelight. This slope will not disappoint. The deepest wait at a chair was 3 people! A must ski for Montana.

Good place to escape the hustle and bustle.

This was a really great place to bring beginner skiiers and the KinderSki was especially great for the little ones. We all had a great time and there was something for everyone to do and enjoy. I would have liked to see more snowshoeing opportunities for those of our party who didnt ski, but I also know that skiing is the main part of the resort. The prices also seemed a bit high compared to some other skiing weve done in the past but the views are just breathtaking and I would highly recommend this place to anyone into skiing with a little extra cash.

Great little family mountain with enough terrain for everyone. Best cookies in Montana!

Ive skied all over western Montana and Discovery is a tried and true favorite. Friendly and affordable the mountain has something of offer everyone. If you come by, be sure to get a famous cookie from the cafeteria. Oh, and their website has THE best damn webcam EVER. Take note, all other resorts!

Its not somewhere my family would return.

So much fun I took my daughter on the back side on a triple black diamond

Very nice ski area. The runs are all well marked, kept fresh, and long. There are plenty of runs on the mountain, if you get there at mountain open, then you should have time to run everything you want. The lounge/cafeteria is good, their famous chocolate chip cookies are delicious, they have good food, althouth slietly pricey. Anyways great ski area, probally one of my favorites in Montana.

Great place to ski, very rarely do you see large crowds, they have everything from beginner to expert.

This is the best place to go skiing or snowboarding if you are a beginner. It is very nice place. The staff is vary inviting. They have a great restraint. Over all this place is awsome

Small space, good off piste range.

Have skied here since I was in high school and took my grandkids this trip. Still the same great snow and people.

Great variation for all skill levels. The backside is great snow right now.

Finally getting some snow, snowed all day

Perfect ski day, excellent conditions no one there.

Great snow. Low key vibe and not packed.

Best and most difficult skiing Ive experienced in Montana so far (compared to Bridger, Great Divide, Big Sky). Great range of easy to extremely difficult runs. So much fun!!! Does not get overly crowded and the employees are very friendly and accommodating.
