Big Sky is one of the continent’s largest ski areas, offering 5,850 acres of skiable terrain, 320 named runs, and a 4,350‑foot vertical drop from the 11,166‑foot summit of Lone Peak. The resort receives around 400 inches of annual snowfall, supported by a modern lift network of 40 lifts, including the iconic tram to the summit.
Terrain variety is a major draw: long groomers, bowls, couloirs, and high‑alpine steeps give skiers of all abilities room to explore. The mountain’s sheer scale and scenery consistently rank among its top attributes
