When the first snowflakes begin to fall, Central Montana has a wealth of activities to enjoy. If you're a skier, you'll be able to hit the slopes at Showdown Ski Area, southeast of Great Falls, or Bear Paw Ski Bowl near Havre. Near Teton Pass west of Choteau, you'll find a well-maintained cross-country ski trail system and an extensive network of backcountry trails for snowmobiling. Ice fishing is popular throughout the region, with trout, walleye, and Northern pike among the most popular catches.
