Big Sky - Community Reviews & Ratings

Loved Big Sky, the lifts are very luxurious. Everyone working at the resort is super friendly. Multiple sides of the mountain to explore, so many runs for all experience levels. There is also the riders room where you can demo all the new gear for snowboarding!

Massive mountain with extensive terrain. Spend more than one day to get the full experience. Many hidden runs if you look hard enough. High level steeps, blue groomers, and uncrowded greens. Night life is minimal but you wont have the energy any way after skiing a hard day. Beautiful vistas and opportunities to venture out on side trips. Modern lifts galore!

Its really big for boarding in US! Loved the backcountry. People were friendly. And the lay out was fluid! Would give 4.8 stars!

You could ski here for a season and never see it all. It's worth a trip. Not for the budget skier but great nonetheless.

Massive ski resort with 39 lifts, 321 named runs and 5,850 acres of skiable terrains, Big Sky is truly on a league of its own.You can ski here for a week and always ski different runs!Its a really fun mountain to ski and the locals are usually pretty chill. Most runs always feel pretty empty which is awesome.With so many runs, its also great for families as you always find something for everyone.Now for the not so good: - Apres and Restaurant scene is pretty limited.- Hard to move around. If you get stuck on one side of the mountain, it will be really hard to get back once the lifts close. So plan in advance so you dont get stuck (no Ubers here so youll have to wait a while or hitch a ride)

Great ski resort. The new tram is amazing and the snow this year has been epic. It is geared towards the rich, but its a great place to ski and you can stay slope side.

Luxury resort with all the amenities. Beautiful views of the mountains. Great options for accommodations off resort and close to Bozeman.

The most impressive thing about big sky is its vast terrain. Largest resort I've ever skied. The terrain seems to go on forever. Even though there wasn't a lot of snow when I went and lots of things coverage, the snow still accumulated enough in the trees for powder skiing. We went at the end of ski week and it was very expensive. A room at the marriott in town and not ski in ski out was >$600 and all ski in ski out accommodations were sold out. The bubble lifts are common and keep you warm. However lifts were not working well and lift lines were super long 2 days in a row at the bases>1 hr wait. Apre ski options are not great. This is not a party town. Had to drive an hour into Bozeman for good food.

Big Sky is a great ski resort that is often overshadowed by the Yellowstone Club that sits across the valley from it. While many skiers ultimate paradise would be to ski in that amazing private ski resort, big sky is an amazing alternative. Having skied both resorts, the main difference is lift times (and cost of course). I would say that Big Skys strengths are in the powder skiing and on mountain but off trail runs (not off-piste). The powder lays a nice layer over everything and compacts well most winters leaving a very smooth experience while still having decent compaction below. I would suggest this mountain to anyone looking towards skiing in the area and look for those off trail runs for the most fun. Big sky offers a fairly decent value, but often the costs can become quite high considering the decently remote nature of being up in Montana. The main issue I have with this mountain is that for the amount of snow that they claim that they get, the groomed runs can sometimes be quite rocky and not feel up to par for $200 lift ticket. The bowl is where the best skiing is but that is mainly advanced/expert terrain so beware, although that is where I had the most fun. The list lines are sometimes long but if you avoid the main lifts, you should have nothing to worry about. Try to stay away from the crowds, maybe avoid the main lodge, and you will have a good time.

Immense terrain, immense off piste terrain. This mountain is for people who really want to push themselves or ski some of the steepest inbound runs in the world A magical place for advanced skiers and riders
