Big Sky Resort is a ski resort located in southwestern Montana in Madison County, an hour and a half south of Three Rivers via U.S. Highway 191 in Big Sky.
Opened in late 1973, Big Sky has grown over the last 35 years. Trademarked as the “Biggest Skiing in America” through the Biggest Skiing in America Pass, skiers and riders have access to over 5,000 acres to explore. Three-quarters of the vast terrain is Big Sky Resort, with the remaining trails at Moonlight Basin. The Biggest Skiing in America Pass combines the two resorts making Moonlight Basin accessible from the Lone Peak Summit and via the Challenger Lift. |
| Big Sky is primarily known for its winter activities, which include ski and snowboard terrain, a terrain park, cross country skiing, zipline and snowshoeing, but it has become an increasingly popular summer attraction as well. Horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking the trails are available on the mountain, with zipline, golf, and tennis available further down by the Meadow Village, which sits at an elevation of 6,800 feet, between the ski area and US-191. Fly fishing and whitewater rafting are popular on the Gallatin River. Big Sky is also a convenient and comfortable base camp for excursions into nearby Yellowstone National Park. |
