You need to catch a connecting flight to the small airport of Bozeman – but once here, the spectacular Montana scenery, lack of crowds and incredible terrain will make the trip more than worthwhile. Even on the busiest days, every skier or rider is said to each have access to two acres of the 5850 acres of terrain.
Big Sky is a resort that is also going places, with the first couple of phases of an extremely ambitious upgrade programme well underway. Two new chairlifts, both equipped with heated seats and bubbles have been built, the latest of which, Ramcharger, is the USA’s very first eight seater, were built for the 2018/19 season. This season saw two further new three seater chairlifts and next season a further six seater chairlift and a new gondola are planned for construction.
The purpose built resort base at Mountain Village is the best place to stay, with super convenient access to the slopes. Much of the accommodation is condominium based, but there are some good hotels and unlike in other major US resorts, the cost of lodging here is generally reasonable. Away from the slopes, the resort is mostly quiet but recent investment has improved the post- skiing offering – for example, Big Sky is now home to the longest ziplines in the Yellowstone region.
There are some good restaurants and a few small bars in the Mountain Village, but if self-catering you may want to pick up supplies on the way from Bozeman, as there are limited shopping facilities in town.
