ABOUT BIG SKY
Big Sky Resort is known for dramatic alpine peaks and uncrowded slopes, with some of the most expansive skiing in North America below 11,166-foot Lone Peak. It pairs big-mountain terrain with a relaxed Montana feel and authentic Western hospitality.
Off the slopes, take the Lone Peak Tram up to the summit for views of three states and two national parks. You can also explore Yellowstone National Park by snowcoach, head out on a guided snowmobile tour, cross-country ski or snowshoe on groomed trails, or end the day with a horse-drawn sleigh ride or a snowcat trip to dinner at a remote mountain cabin.
Restaurants range from cozy bistros and steakhouses to lively après-ski spots in Mountain Village and Meadow Village. Local shuttles connect the base area, Meadow Village and Town Center, so shopping, restaurants and activities are easy to reach.
Let us build your Big Sky vacation package around what matters most to you. From ski-in/ski-out lodging and lift tickets to equipment rentals, guided excursions and dining reservations, we take care of the details.
