Big Sky Vacation
Mountain:
Big Sky Mountain is known for its massive terrain and an annual snowfall average of 400 inches. Four mountains have seamless access due to 38 lifts and more than 300 runs, including the new Lone Peak Tram, which opened in time for the 2023/24 ski season. No lift lines means more vertical if your legs can handle it. There is an excellent mix of beginner (15%), intermediate (25%), advanced (42%), and expert (18%). Experts often head immediately to the Lone Peak Tram for skiing as close as possible to Heli-skiing without the chopper. Intermediates can head to the North Side of Lone or Andesite mountain for long, empty groomers, bumps, or the terrain parks. Get more Mountain info
