About Big Sky

Big Sky Resort in southwest Montana holds a singular distinction in American skiing: its 5,850 skiable acres spread across Lone Peak, Andesite Mountain, and the Moonlight Basin are so vast relative to its visitor numbers that it consistently records the lowest skier density of any major resort in the country — a selling point it markets directly as "The Biggest Skiing in America." The terrain is genuinely diverse, from wide beginner and intermediate runs on Andesite to the extreme chutes and couloirs accessed via the Lone Peak Tram, which rises to an exposed 11,166-foot summit with views extending to Yellowstone National Park. For skiers who value space, solitude, and big mountain character without the crowds of Colorado or Utah, Big Sky is a compelling and underrated choice.
