Bear Paw Ski Bowl

Bear Paw Ski Bowl is a small ski area which draws visitors primarily from Havre, Montana^[1] and the nearby Rocky Boys Indian Reservation located on the Chippewa Cree Recreation Area in north central Montana, along the Hi-Line.^[2] The Chippewa Cree tribe owns Bear Paw, and it is managed by a volunteer non-profit organization called the Snow Dance Ski Association, along with the Eagle Creek Ski Patrol. The ski area has existed since 1959 and has been developed over the years gradually by the association and the tribe.^[2] It was temporarily closed from February 1993 to March 1994, when a crew using faulty equipment tried to make some adjustments and repairs on the gantry (an elevated engine room), and the chairlift.^[3]
