The MTN Sports School at Brundage Mountain has been nominated for a highly-prized industry honor for the second year in a row.

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.

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.

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 Ski and Ride 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.

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 Mountain Sports School, designed specifically to meet the needs of Brundage Mountain’s year-round coaching and learning programs.

The new lodge also features a secure daycare facility for children aged six weeks to six years old.
