Big Sky Ski Resort In Montana
With all that Big Sky, Montana has to offer skiers, it is amazing that so few know about its existence! Known for its wide open slopes and short lift lines, Big Sky Ski Resort has one of the largest lift served vertical drops in the United States. Over 5300 acres of ski slopes and trails await skiers, with over 33 feet of snowfall each season.
Ski Big Sky 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.
For those who dare, the Lone Peak Tram takes the bold to the apex, with 3,600 acres, 4,350 jaw-dropping vertical feet and expert terrain below. Combined, the two trail networks offer nearly 5,300 acres of skiable terrain and the second-biggest vertical descent in the US, at 4,350′. Between them, the two resorts operate 23 lifts. Coupled with easy access to the slopes and an average annual snowfall of 400 inches, terrain parks and halfpipes, you can see why Big Sky has become one of the top ski resorts in the country. Big Sky is perfect for everyone from beginners to experts.
