Beartooth Basin Ski Area is a ski area in the western United States in northern Wyoming, located at Beartooth Pass in the Shoshone National Forest near the Montana border. It is the only ski area in North America that is only open in the summer, generally from late May through early July, since U.S. Route 212 (Beartooth Highway) is closed in winter. Opened in 1962, it totals 600 acres (2.4 km2) at an elevation of 10,900 feet (3,320 m).[1][2][3]
The north-facing slopes of Beartooth Basin are served by two platter lifts, and there is no day lodge. Parking is alongside the highway at the pass, slightly above the summit of the ski area.
