Maverick Mountain sits in the Beaverhead National Forest just off the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway at Polaris, about 40 miles from Dillon, according to Wikipedia. There are 24 runs and a cross-country trail network.
SkiCentral’s season log shows the hill opening December 20, 2025, for the 2026 season, after a 2025 season that ran from late December to the end of March. The last ticket prices it posted were $45 for adults and $30 for kids.
It is a long drive for most people, and that is most of the appeal. If you’re nearby, stop in and keep them busy.
