The all-inclusive Triple Creek Ranch, tucked into Montana’s Rocky Mountains, offers a refined Western escape for guests who love winter. The ranch blends luxury accommodations with authentic outdoor experiences, giving visitors a chance to enjoy the region’s snowy landscapes in style.
One standout winter activity at the ranch is skijoring, sometimes called “ski driving.” This traditional Norwegian sport pairs a skier with a horse and rider who pulls the skier across snow-covered meadows and through forested trails. Triple Creek Ranch organizes trips to the nearby town of Wisdom for the annual Wisdom Winterfest, where local riders and skiers race in timed skijoring events. Ranch guests can take part in or watch the festivities and also try skijoring back on the property with guidance from experienced staff.
Dog sledding is another highlight. Resident musher Jessie Royer, a 13-time Iditarod finisher, offers guests the chance to learn about sled dog handling and ride a team. Visitors can opt to mush their own team under Royer’s instruction or ride along while she guides the dogs. The ranch has offered complimentary introductory dog sled rides during select winter dates to introduce guests to the sport.
For downhill and cross-country skiers, the Continental Divide and Lost Trail Powder Mountain are about a 30-minute drive from the ranch. Triple Creek Ranch provides complimentary lift tickets, equipment rentals and transportation to both ski areas, making it easy for guests to enjoy a variety of terrain without worrying about logistics.
