More than fifty three hundred acres of ski and snowboarding slopes and trails await skiers, with over 33 feet of snowfall every year.

Ski Big Sky Ski Resort 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.

Lone Mountain boasts a shocking 4,350 vertical feet, and is made up of a lot of expert ski terrain. Andesite Mountain is most notably an intermediate mountain, though it also boasts some expert tree runs and a giant half pipe.
