Discovery Ski Area is committed to providing persons with qualifying disabilities the full and equal enjoyment of its goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations. Discovery Ski Area recognizes that no policy can address every possible scenario which may arise or every individual’s specific needs.  Discovery Ski Area allows the use of adaptive devices or other ‘manually-powered mobility aids’ designed and manufactured primarily for use by individuals who have disabilities, including without limitation, mono skis, bi skis, outriggers and sit-skis.  To permit evacuation from the aerial chairlift in the event of a breakdown, sit-skis, mono-skis, bi-skis are to have an evacuation system, readily available and designed specifically for the device, that can be securely attached to the evacuation rope.

If your preferred device is not listed, please contact us. Due to Discovery’s limited staff, Discovery would request that any person requesting an exception or modification to the above policy contact Discovery Ski Area 5 days prior to the date of your arrival. Contact can be made at (406) 563-2184 ext 103 or schools@skidiscovery.com.

Discovery Ski Area supports the use of trained service animals during the summer and winter operating seasons. All services animals must meet current ADA guidelines to include, but not be limited to: remaining under the direct control of the user at all times; be house broken; and be trained and utilized for a specific disability approved by ADA regulations.

The use of service animals is permitted within buildings and facilities located in the Base Area. The use of service animals on lifts, trails and slopes is restricted due to conflicts with Discovery’s safety requirements and impedes the reasonably safe operation of Discovery’s on slope activities. These safety concerns include the real potential for conflicts between service animals and skiers and riders, and are compounded by the large volume of slope and trail use. These safety requirements are based on actual risks and are not intended to be discriminatory in any way.
