About

Big Sky Resort in Montana has more skiable acres than any resort in the United States — over 5,800 acres with 4,350ft of vertical. Combined with relatively low visitor numbers compared to its size, Big Sky offers something increasingly rare in American skiing: space.

The Mountain

Big Couloir for expert off-piste, Liberty Bowl for powder, Lone Peak tram for big mountain access.

Ideal Conditions

Montana storm cycle dropping powder, cold temperatures, light winds on Lone Peak
