Montana | _ | | _ | | | 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. The relationship between the ski areas was
chilly for two seasons, but in June 2005 they reached an agreement to offer
a a combined pass. 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.
The two resorts share the same mountain - Lone Peak, which is nearly an hour
from Bozeman. At one time, the resorts shared several trails and a lift. But
previously, it was necessary to purchase a ticket or season pass from each if
you wanted to ski them both. | | |
