The moment I arrived at Big Sky Resort in Montana, I felt like I’d stepped into a winter paradise. The sheer size of the mountain, surrounded by sweeping views of the Rockies, took my breath away before I even clipped into my skis. Everything about the resort feels grand yet welcoming, from the cozy lodges to the friendly atmosphere that makes you instantly excited to explore. It didn’t take long for me to realize why so many people consider this one of the best ski destinations in the country.
Once I hit the slopes, the experience only became more incredible. Big Sky’s terrain is unbelievably diverse—wide-open groomers, challenging steeps, peaceful tree runs, and everything in between. No matter what kind of skier you are, there’s a run here that makes you feel like you’re flying. The snow was light and soft, the kind that makes every turn feel effortless, and the views from the trails were just unreal. I found myself stopping more than once just to take it all in.
One of the things that truly blew me away were the heated lifts. I’d heard about them before, but using them firsthand is a whole different level of comfort. Sitting on a warm seat while watching the mountain unfold around you makes the ride up almost as enjoyable as the ride down. It kept me comfortable all day and made it so much easier to stay out on the mountain longer. Big Sky Resort isn’t just a place to ski—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.
