Big Sky, Montana
8 Spectacular Ski Resorts To Try This Winter
Big Sky
About four hours north, on the other side of Yellowstone, Big Sky Resort has evolved from fewer than 20 trails and four lifts in 1973 to more than 300 and 38, respectively, today. In December 2023, Big Sky, the largest resort in Montana (and one of the largest in the U.S.), unveiled its newly upgraded Lone Peak Tram, with each car whisking 75 passengers uphill at 22 miles per hour. Frequent skiers laud Big Sky’s variety of terrain — with bowls, chutes, cliffs and groomers — and its size and pitch. Everything feels bigger and steeper. It’s still an authentic experience, even if it has become more commercialized. When you go, check out the Five-Star Montage Big Sky and its in-house adventure outfit, Compass Sports.
