Big Sky Resort, Montana

Big Sky Resort is tucked in the towering mountains 50 miles northwest of Yellowstone National Park.  This stunning ski resort is one of the biggest ski destinations in the United States.  It is known for its panoramic views across Montana, Idaho and Wyoming – skiers and riders can see 10 mountain ranges, including the Tetons.  Due to it’s relatively off-the-beaten-path location, Big Sky lacks the crowds that can be common in other ski destinations.

Things To Do In Big Sky

Big Sky is home to 3 skiable peaks that feature more than 220 runs. Expert skiers can catch the thrill on Lone Mountain’s terrain.
