Welcome to Big Sky, Montana

The Mountain

Not just one, but three mountains to delight skiers and snowboarders. Lone Mountain is Big Sky's signature peak, rising to a spectacular 11,166 feet. For those who dare, the Lone Peak Tram takes the bold to the apex, with 3,600 acres, 4,350 jaw-dropping vertical feet and expert terrain below. The northern exposure ensures the best snow conditions in Montana (an average of 400 inches of light dry powder each year doesn't hurt either).

Adjacent Andesite Mountain has some of Big Sky's best intermediate cruising runs, south-facing beginner trails, several expert tree runs and a giant half-pipe and terrain park.

Flat Iron Mountain is on the eastern shoulder of Andesite and offers skiers and snowboarders a variety of adventure.

In between Andesite and Lone Mountains, is located Big Sky's designated snowshoe trail: Moose Tracks.

The new Lone Tree Quad Chairlift provides access to beautiful new terrain previously accessable only by snowcat. In total, Moonlight Basin will see the addition of approximately 27 new runs as well as new hike-to terrain.
