USA Today Ranks Brundage MTN Sports School in Top 10 For Second Year in a Row
The Brundage MTN Sports School has been voted as a Top 10 Ski School in North America in USA Today’s 10Best People’s Choice awards.
A panel of ski and travel industry experts selected 20 North American ski schools for the 2024 USA Today 10Best People’s Choice award voting. This is the independently owned ski resort’s fifth nomination in the People’s Choice contest.
The MTN Sports School was ranked #3 in last year’s contest, and voted into the #6 spot by the public this year.
Brundage Mountain won Top 10 honors in the category of North America’s Best Ski Resorts for three years in a row, earning the top spot for a US resort in 2020.
From USA Today: “Even the most dazzlingly talented skiers had to start somewhere, and ski schools are a tried-and-true path to mastering the fundamentals. Top-tier ski schools bring together friendly and experienced instructors, varied terrain, the right equipment, and an eye towards safety.”
Innovative Children’s Program Recognized by Judges
The USA Today panel praised the Brundage Tiny Tracks program for offering an innovative approach to tailor the private coaching experience to the individual needs of the youngest learners, “The MTN Sports School at Brundage Mountain Resort welcomes skiers and snowboarders ages 3 to 6 to enroll in their Tiny Tracks lessons, and they even allow parents who can already ski to join the lesson at no cost,” noted the panel.
New Beartopia Ticket for Just $30
Brundage also benefits from exceptional learning terrain, which is serviced by the Easy Rider conveyor lift, the Easy Street Triple Chair and the Bear Chair Triple in an area known as Beartopia.
Beartopia encompasses 16 different runs, three small terrain parks and an array of playful experiences that keep kids (and adult learners) engaged and challenged while they build their confidence. The naturally divided terrain allows instructors to help first-timers master fundamental skills on gentle slopes before progressing to more challenging terrain.
New for the 2024-25 season, guests can purchase a Beartopia lift ticket online for just $30, granting access to over 100 acres of beginner and novice terrain, including all of Brundage Mountain’s terrain parks. The ticket includes rides on the Easy Rider Conveyor, Easy Street Triple Chair, and Bear Chair Triple.
Parents skiing with young children get an even better deal: Adults can purchase a Beartopia ticket for just $20 when ordering a free lift ticket for kids 6 and under. You’ll find the Beartopia lift ticket in the “Day Ticket” section of our web store. Choose your date first, then scroll down to add the Beartopia option to your cart.

“Making it easy for families to enjoy Brundage Mountain has always been a priority,” says Rider. “These programs, along with the relaunch of daycare in our new facility, provide families with more options and value during that crucial stage of introducing kids to snowsports.”
Family-Focused Investments
Brundage Mountain Resort continues to invest in new and upgraded facilities and terrain. The new Mountain Adventure Center, set to open in November 2024, features a secure, modern space for the MTN Sports School, designed specifically to meet the needs of Brundage Mountain’s year-round coaching and learning programs.
