On the slopes
From skiing to the door to value for money, ski holidays in Big Sky offer uncrowded pistes with over 400 inches of annual snowfall (that's 33 feet of snow!!!). There's three mountains to play with with some great tree-lined runs. For both skiing and boarding you have wide pistes and near deserted runs right across all three mountains. For boarders there's a full-on terrain park (Swifty Park and Ambush Park) with half-pipes, rails and jibs. Great ski schools and ski instructors ensure you can learn and play!
Off the slopes
Ski holidays in Big Sky provide dining options ranging from sushi to pizzas and even local game. The village centre is car free and with the après-ski being good but not too lively, there is plenty for everyone. Off piste activities for non-skiers and those wanting a break include all the usual winter activity culprits like sleigh rides and snowmobiling, but also horse riding and fly fishing. There is a lot for families in this resort - not least the great tuition and extensive beginner slopes.
