Big Sky Ski Holidays

Powder Skiing at Big Sky Resort, USA
With no major cities nearby, the big attraction of a Big Sky ski holiday is that it's never busy on the slopes of the huge ski area.

When Big Sky merged with Moonlight Basin in 2013 it became one of North America’s largest resorts. With fantastic terrain and around 10 metres of powder each season, journeying to this Montana gem is well worth it.

The scope for intermediates is fantastic, while experts can ride the tram to the top of Lone Peak. Purpose-built, Big Sky’s Mountain Village is low key, with good restaurants, plus a few bars and shops. You’ll find more amenities in Big Sky town but this resort is more about skiing than nightlife.

While there’s a huge amount of skiing to be had on Big Sky ski holidays, it’s worth taking a day trip to Yellowstone National Park (an hour away). And with Jackson Hole within driving distance, you could experience both on a Big Mountain Ski Safari.

"Big Sky has some big terrain and the quietest slopes in the West. Lone Peak offers scary skiing as well as gentle tree-lined groomers. There’s genuinely something for everyone here."

Accommodation in Big Sky

With reliably high standards, Big Sky has an excellent variety of accommodation options. Many of our guests stay at the 3*+ Huntley Lodge or 4* Village Centre, both of which have swimming pools. For a little more luxury, The 4* Summit is a good option, or there are cabin-style townhomes with private hot-tubs for larger families and groups. We’ve stayed at or visited all of our Big Sky accommodation options, so call us for advice and we’ll recommend the best ones for you.

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Big Sky.

Skiing - Lots of long runs at different levels and varied terrain. Snow was good, thoroughly enjoyed the resort in spite of rather grey skies all week. Apres - limited choices but we found somewhere different every night we went out. Biggest problem was the lack of eating places on the mountain. After the first day when we just got into one of the few mountain restaurants and overhead reception …

Big Sky is the only resort in the area and hence does not need to try too hard. One new lift up to the only on slope very expensive restaurant but all other very slow and need upgrading. Very expensive if any purchases are in resort, go to the independent outlets for better cheaper deals on servicing etc... still great resort loads of runs all abilities.

Very nice resort with varied terrain, no queues except on Saturday morning. I joined a group advanced lesson which was great value, fun and helpful.

Excellently groomed pistes and lots of potential off-piste. It was really empty when we went (end of Jan). Generally a resort for older skiers - I am 55 and felt relatively young :) but this was a major advantage as we sometimes never saw anybody on a whole run. Would like to go back with my wife but only for 3 or 4 days. Would possibly prefer to stay at the middle village where there would be mor…

Stayed at the resort and hotel before and returned as we had 'unfinished business' with the mountain. It's all about the snow, the skiing and the terrain for us. There is no other reason to go to Big Sky for a long holiday as the restaurants are seriously limited in volume and the quality and VfM of some this year was poor. I felt the the food this year was not as good as 5 years ago and contraste…

Great time, snow and queues brilliant.

Great resort for getting ski miles under your belt, varied runs for all levels. The lifts are very dated and not good value in relation to how costly the lift pass is. This is the main criticism of the resort. If you don't have a car not much choice for dining in an evening if you are staying for more than 4 nights

Poor resort. Not enough bars and restaurants. Food was very limited.

Lovely long runs for all abilities. Staying slopeside here was definitely the best thing to do as all very convenient.

This is an amazing resort and the most snow sure of the 3 that we visited. The terrain is huge and often we had the runs to ourselves - even on a powder day!! There are so many options here that you feel like you are visiting a new resort each day. Big Sky is definitely one to visit.
