Big Sky Resort is a 3,832-acre ski resort located in southwestern Monatana, just north of Yellowstone National Park. With the Biggest Skiing in America ticket, a combined lift ticket to Big Sky and it’s neighboring resort, Moonlight Basin, the resorts offer skiers the largest amount of contiguous lift-served terrain in the United States at 5,532 acres.

Big Sky Resort is known for its expansive ski terrain on 11,166-foot Lone Peak, including runs like the famous Big Couloir accessible off of the expert-only Lone Peak Tram. With an average of 400” of snow a year, cold temperatures, and low humidity, Big Sky Resort is also known for what locals call “Cold Smoke Powder.”  This type of snow is light and dry, leaving a white smoke-like contrail behind skiers as they make their way down the mountain.
