Claimed the “Biggest Skiing in America” is a majestic mountain town in the heart of Montana.  Ahh, just picture it now... Big mountains, Big views, Big terrain, Big steeps and a Big sky. Big Ski Resort is called the ‘Biggest Skiing in America’ for many reasons. To name a few, there is over 5,800 ski-able acres offering terrain for every level.  The resort captures magnificent steeps which can be accessed off of the Lone Peak Tram.  While the advanced and experts dream of skiing big, the resort is family-friendly and offers plenty of green and blue trails for the beginner and intermediate riders. 

With a mission to “create a fun and diverse environment for both skiers and riders, of any ability level, to progress and push their limits” it is no wonder why skiers and riders seek out Big Sky to catch the biggest skiing in America.
