At Big Sky, the objective has never been to rub elbows with the stars or anyone else. It’s been to ski as much and as hard as your legs will allow, while enjoying breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and gracious hospitality. There are 3,500 skiable acres and 4,180 feet of vertical with an annual snowfall over 400 inches. The terrain varies from groomed cruisers to steep, powdered chutes. In a word – awesome!
