OVERVIEW
Big Sky, with a very dramatic Matterhorn-shaped peak stopping out at 11,166 feet, is for serious skiers from the summit, but it has premium cruisers near the base. The intermediate groomers are so exhilarating that those who tire out on the expert terrain have plenty to smile about as they play on the lower trails with friends and family. We can help you experience this euphoria by assisting you in booking everything from lodging, transportation, lift tickets, and rentals. We can make this trip as close to hassle free as possible, and it all can be done on one website. Big Sky's terrain is on the south and east sides of Lone Peak, north of Lone Peak is Moonlight Basin. Big Sky's higher altitude and more northerly latitude result in better snow preservation, while Moonlight Basin's northerly exposure results in mostly packed powder conditions.
