The Skiers' Guide to Big Sky

honestly, it was a good time, I was just excited to get back out on the slopes, but so much was not open, and that was a little disappointing for my first time at big sky, I skied on a Saturday so I was expecting it to be a bit crowded, but on one of the ramchargers the line was irrefutably long and exhausting. I was not interested in waiting in that line because I can ski black diamonds pretty well, so thats what I did instead of sitting in line to run easy runs to warm up. I understand that many many people are skiing now, but the way that the workers are underpaid, it was just disappointing as I know those lines could have been avoided, especially if more slopes were open. I know it was a warm winter there so I was just happy to ski what I skied, yet I wish I had more of an opportunity to see more of Big Sky without getting exhausted after a solid 5 black runs (as I don't get to ski often and it was heating up to slush, I didn't feel comfortable risking injury as I would like to ski more) but overall I had a really solid experience, the apres was nice, we went to the saloon and enjoyed some drinks. when picking up my rentals, the staff was wonderful and made me feel so welcomed, even when I couldn't get my boot off. High praise to those employees! My friend also enjoyed her time hanging out while I skied, and when she got the opportunity for a lesson she said that she learned a lot as a beginner and will be going back!

I love how many runs you can choose from and still have a good amount of the run to yourself. It is so spacious.

Excellent time on a mountain that offers everything a person would need for a ski trip. From the lifts to the views to the apres, it met all my needs.

Big Sky offers terrain like no where else in the US. There’s something for everyone, but for the more advanced skier, there is SO many unique places to ride. You could spend a week skiing here and not get bored, I love it!

Great resort eith tons of space and plenty of lifts to keep lines short. Restaurants are a bit limited on mountain and quite pricey. Snow has been thin this season but is usually fairly nice.

beginner skier and had a great time at big sky. everything was well run, clean, and efficient. it was a bit expensive but you get what you pay for.

Big sky it’s an amazing big resort. I loved all the options of trails and the lifts were high-tech. They’ve invested a lot of money into the ski area. Unfortunately, the snow conditions were not the best this year.

Incredible mountain with terrain for all skier types. Incredible modern lifts with hardly any wait all over the mountain and very family friendly!

The experience has been great! We stayed there for 4 days, the weather was nice so riding conditions were great. Stuff is very nice and helpful everywhere we went.

The lifts ran smoothly and we fit our whole group on one 8-seater. Big terrain, big mountain with challenging runs. Lodge was a bit crowded during snowstorm.

They had great accommodations I never waited in a lift line for more than 10 minutes and the runs were always well groomed

This is the best resort in the us if you are a good skier. Theres nothing like skiing the tram on a good day with no viability cause there’s often no line. If you want big scary lines big sky is for you. If you wanna hike to find fresh snow big sky is for you. If you are looking to push yourself big sky is for you

The accommodations were great!
The private lessons were amazingly valuable… my instructor was courteous, respectful and VERY talented…

Amazing experience here. Snow quality is excellent. All their staff are friendly and wonderful. Come for pride in January.

I brought some family and friends to Big Sky to enjoy terrain I've skied my entire adult life. They were fully impressed with the vast and steep terrain off the Tram, Challenger Lift, and Lone Tree.

The lower mountain lifts can be longer lines but they move quickly due to the chair capacity. Upper mountain lifts and terrain were sparsely populated and we could find powder on every run. My friends said it was some of the steepest they've ever skied and they've been all over with the Ikon Pass.

Didn't stay for the apres-ski on the mountain and instead prefer the locals vibe at places in the meadow or canyon.

Great place lots of areas to explore has the most advanced lift infrastructure in North America, there is plenty of runs for all levels of skiers.

Amazing mountain with lots of interesting terrain. Getting to the very top is hard sometimes as the peak gondola can have big lines and can close due to wind. The village is a little limited and for some (like us) it made more sense to drive back to Boulder each night for hot tub / spa and partying.

Always a wonderful time at Big Sky. The lift ops were friendly, the trailed maintained as best they could be. Views incredible. Food was on point.

World class resort. Best ski lifts in North America. I wish they had cheaper lodging options nearby.

It was a great mountain lots of terrain beautiful location excellent snow quality. They had great newer lifts for the most part and due to the views you don’t mind riding the slower older chair. Super nice and convenient accommodations and friendly staff
