Big Sky, Montana

Tucked between Yellowstone National Park and the towering peaks of the Madison Range, Big Sky, Montana is a true alpine playground that blends world-class adventure with small-town charm. Known for its vast terrain, minimal lift lines, and genuine mountain hospitality, Big Sky offers one of North America’s most expansive ski experiences — over 5,800 acres of skiable terrain, 4,350 vertical feet, and the legendary steeps of Lone Peak. Beyond the slopes, visitors can explore snowshoe and Nordic trails, snowmobile through Yellowstone’s winter wilderness, or unwind at luxury lodges and slope-side hot springs. In summer, Big Sky transforms into a haven for fly fishing, hiking, rafting, and mountain biking. With its big mountains, big skies, and endless opportunities to connect with nature, Big Sky lives up to its name — wide open, wild, and unforgettable.
