Montana’s Remarkable Big Sky Ski Resort

With all that Big Sky, Montana has to offer snow skiers, it is remarkable that so few are aware of its existence! Recognized for its broad open slopes as well as small lift lines, Big Sky Ski Resort has one of the largest lift served vertical drops in the Usa. More than 5300 acres of ski and snowboarding slopes and trails await skiers, with over 33 feet of snowfall each year.

Big Sky Ski Resort and discover acres of terrain on three immense mountains that provide you with enough variety and expanse that standing in lift lines is an anomaly to Big Sky visitors. Big Sky Lodging options vary from slopeside hotels and Condos to private homes. Two mountains of blissful terrain please everyone from the power wedge to the fast and fearless. The ingredients are simple: massive acreage, the most total vertical feet in the United States, and a lift network including high speed quads that makes most skiers vanish onto nearly-private runs.

This secluded, mid-mountain location provides a one of a kind ski-in/ski-out experience. Enjoy panoramic views from the private hot tub on your deck. Sure, there are other mountain resorts with lots of summer activities, but only Big Sky has Lone Mountain. Millions of acres of national forest and wilderness. During the summer, Grizzly Outfitters specializes in mountain biking, camping, hiking, and climbing. They are Big Sky's largest full-service ski and bike shop, featuring overnight tuning services.

Big Sky Resort continues to make its mark on the mountain vacation industry, along with creating a remarkable memorable experience for winter guests. And one reader sums up the on-mountain food options as "granola in your pocket and water in your Camelbak.".Many deem that an acceptable trade-off for enjoying some of the biggest skiing in North America. Ski-town airports charge high rental rates in wintertime, and your "car" may well be an SUV—great for mountain driving, but a huge gas-guzzler. Instead, rely on airport shuttles.

The two resorts share the same mountain - Lone Peak, which is nearly an hour from Bozeman. At one time, the resorts shared several trails and a lift.

There are many places to lodge in Big Sky Resorts Mountain Village, which rests at the foot of the impressive Lone Peak mountain. Enjoy Sleigh Ride dinners, ice skating, parties, snowmobile tours, and a variety of community events. At Big Sky, there are no strangers. Big Sky, Montana is one of the highest rated ski resorts in the United States, and rivals Winter Park ski vacations for the perfect getaway. There is something here for everyone.
