In the late 1930s, an enthusiastic group of Libby skiers formed Kootenai Ski Club (later Libby Ski Club) in order to develop a ski area. In the 1950s, they started a plan to develop Turner Mountain into a ski area, and it was opened on New Year's weekend of 1961. The summer after the first season, a T-bar was added.[1][2][3][4]
Turner Mountain Ski Area is volunteer-run and managed by a nonprofit organization called Kootenai Winter Sports Ski Education Foundation, Inc.[5] The resort received funding from the City of Libby Economic Development Fund to develop a new lodge facility. It was completed in February 2006.[6]
The T-bar to the summit, over a mile (1.6 km) in length, debuted in 1961.[1] It was succeeded by a double chairlift in the fall of 2001.
