Teton Pass Ski Area is an alpine ski area located along the Rocky Mountain Front in northwestern Montana, west of Choteau and east of the Continental Divide. Formerly known as Rocky Mountain Hi in the 1990s, it was bought by New Zealand native Nick Wood in July 2010. [1]

For the 2011–12 season, the resort was unable to obtain insurance and thus did not open its facilities. [2] The resort closed again in 2017 and remained so until 2019 when it was purchased by its former manager and Choteau resident, Charles Hlavac. Initially listed for $3,000,000, it eventually sold for just $345,000. [3] [4]
