Grand Living, Big Sky

BY: Leslie Woit | NOVEMBER 17, 2021

Calling all luxury adventurers. This winter, head west to the powdery pitches of Big Sky, the iconic beauty of nearby Yellowstone National Park, and an inviting new retreat at some seriously luxurious digs – Montage Big Sky. Mountain modern meets classic ski lodge – grand vaulted ceilings, warm wood and local stone, all nestled within Big Sky’s exclusive Spanish Peaks enclave. The cosseting formula many of us know from Montage Deer Valley has been lavished on these 150 guest rooms and suites located within the second largest ski area in the United States by acreage. Providing smooth ski-in, ski-out access to 5,800 skiable acres, Montana also means fantastic wildlife spotting, scenic Nordic skiing, snowshoeing trails and, depending on the month, cozy proximity to world-renowned fly-fishing. Back at the lodge, expect the same fine service found in Montage properties from Cabo to the Caribbean: superlative cuisine, classy cocktails, a bowling alley and indoor lap pool, family swimming pool, fitness center, and a very fine Spa Montage featuring the finest Tata Harper and Valmont in a dozen treatment rooms. Prepare to be lavished.

The glamorous US ski resorts the hoi polloi don’t know about

“No, that’s not true,” said the Lone Mountain Land Company representative. “The Yellowstone Club does not have a satellite monitoring its ski area for intruders.” I can’t say I’m not disappointed that despite it being a scurrilous rumour, the most exclusive and expensive ski resort in the world doesn’t have a satellite, let alone a laser beam […]
