Marshall Mountain - The Lost Resorts, Episode 27 (ft.

Thanks to ‪@beneminger3666‬ for breaking down the topography of Marshall Mountain! Please subscribe to him.
Marshall Mountain may be one of the most recognizable lost ski areas in the United States. Certainly, it is rooted in a steep history, dating all the way back to the late 1930s. It's history runs deep with the city of Missoula, and it taught countless people the sport of skiing.
The Lost Resorts is a weekly video series that focuses on the history of lost ski resorts in North America. New episodes release every Thursday at 5:15am MST (unless otherwise notified). Join me as we take a look at the lost resorts of North America.

Note: you don’t mention until 3 minutes in that this is near Missoula Montana. I would suggest giving a background of the geography of the area right at the start of the video…

[@Skier72]

Appreciate the feedback, will do in the future.

[@tomhanson1701]

@@Skier72btw. Enjoy your videos!

I had never heard of this ski area before, but it looks like it was a fun little area. I would have loved to ski it back in the day! Thanks again for your videos highlighting these lesser known areas!

[@mmoore4456]

The story about Marshall as a ski area is certainly correct, but it seems like you should have continued with the present: Marshall is now a fantastic mountain biking park. Lots of races, for both locals and national competitions. Classes on mountain biking. Really good set of trails from friendly green trails to tough black diamonds. Of course, the mountain is also open to hikers in any weather and skiers/snowboarders can run some laps if we get a decent winter.

I learned to ski at Marshall Mt. in 1975. Sorry it’s gone. It filled a niche with the locals.

I used to night ski here when I was in school at UM in the mid 90's. They would have a band playing in the lodge. It was a great time! So sad they don't get enough snow anymore.

Ok I love your work. I primarily watch Utube TV. I have subscribed and watch every video of yours the system suggests. I am thankful to watch all your videos. I have skid my whole life and am particularly interested in the triggering events that begin the death spiral of ski resorts. We buy several different ski passes for skiing Mt. Hood ski areas every year. One of these is dying. Ski Bowl. It's sad but the last 5 years have been horrible for them. To the point. We AT ski as well. With your videos we will be able to go to these closed ski areas and ski tour with our RV. I think that the industry as a whole is at risk here in the US as two or three paper companies gain more control over resorts which they own no hard assets and have no skin in the game. I digress. Love your work. Change nothing. I will continue to enjoy your offerings.

[@Skier72]

I really appreciate your comment! Hopefully Mt. Hood Skibowl can survive, though I agree, the past few years haven't been very kind to them.

[@Bluebottlenose]

One of the only abandoned ski areas covered on liftblog

[@Skier72]

Yup

[@kittyislandadventure]

Can i suggest your next video? Yodelin near Stevens pass WA. I've always wondered the history of that place.

[@Skier72]

Never found a picture of it in operation, but it would be an interesting video.

[@Thomasj27]

It's open for backcountry skiing and mountain biking. A new life without the lifts!

[@cloxk1buddy]

Can you do big thunder or candy mtn pls

[@Bluebottlenose]

3:36 is this another lost ski area, or is it what Montana snowbowl used to be called?

[@Skier72]

It’s what Montana Snowbowl was called before a big rebrand

[@user-ur1ef6yk8i]

Two totally different mountains. Snowbowl is West of Missoula. Marshall was on the east side. Fun place. Rode it in the 90's.
