Big Sky Downhill Ski Resort

Located in southwestern Montana 50 miles from Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky has a unique pristine beauty. Big Sky, with its lodges, shops,

and restaurants, is easily accessed via excellent jet service to nearby Bozeman. The nationally renowned Lone Mountain Guest Ranch offers 75

kilometers of professionally groomed Nordic trails for all levels of cross-country skiers. Located five miles from the conference center, the scenic

trails wind through forested areas, open meadows and continue onto high alpine terrain. PSIA certified instructors teach beginning to advanced

striding, skating, as well as group and private lessons. Naturalists guide backcountry tours of Yellowstone National Park and the Spanish Peaks

wilderness area. Gourmet meals and a full-service Nordic ski shop are available on-site. Free shuttle bus service connects the Ranch and the

conference center; however, car rental offers the Nordic skier even greater flexibility.

Big Sky Downhill Ski Resort recently expanded its vertical rise to 4,180 feet. Big Sky has 3,500 skiable acres, with runs that are 10% beginner,

47% intermediate and 43% expert. The Lone Peak tram opens previously inaccessible chutes and couloirs, plus three new bowl areas above

the Lone Peak treeline. Big Sky offers big skiing days; the runs are long, the lifts swift, and crowds are rare. Big Sky’s average annual 33 foot

snowfall, keeping the resort open until late April, is complemented by snowmaking. Kids ski free—up to two kids age 10 or under per paying

adult. Children’s ski school (ages 4–14, 406-995-5743) and child care (ages 1-1⁄2–5, 406-995-5847) are available.
