Daily Ski Conditions for Big Sky Resort, Montana

Hey shredders, Big Sky Resort in Montana is dishing out that classic early-season vibe right now—open and spinning since mid-December, with fresh upgrades making it even sweeter for powder hounds like us. Picture this: base depth sitting at a solid 20cm (about 8 inches), ramping up to 76cm (30 inches) at the summit around 3400m, where the snow's gripping nicely for carvy turns. Recent dumps? Last snowfall hit on the 19th, with 5-7 inches in the past 24-48 hours across base and peak, and a measly season total so far at around 1-2 inches officially, but locals know these flurries are building the base.

Only 15% of the 250km of legendary terrain is open—38km of groomed goodness with variable spots elsewhere—plus 16 of 40 lifts firing, including the brand-new Explorer Gondola that dropped on Dec 20. This beast hauls you from Mountain Village straight to mid-mountain beginner pods and links seamlessly to the Lone Peak Tram for summit access at 11,166 feet. No more hiking for those Kircliff views—now it's a glass-floor observatory up top, open to skiers and scenic riders alike, staring down three states and two national parks. Pro tip: shuttles skip Lone Peak/Carpool lots now; it's a quick walk to the gondola base.

Weather's playing nice but feisty—cloudy today with base temps hovering 32-37°F and summit dipping to 20-22°F, light winds. Pistes are machine-groomed and grippy, off-piste variable with fresh stashes turning crusty quick if winds pick up. Valley run's open, Fun Park too, but no halfpipe or night skiing yet.

Look ahead: more snow incoming! Expect 2-4 inches summit tomorrow (Mon), 1-3 Wed/Thu, up to 5in over next couple days at upper elevations, with temps 30-40°F days and dropping nights—freeze-thaw cycles mean prime corn in the am. Powder alerts are buzzing for 5+ inches in 48 hours. Season runs through April, averaging 400 inches total, so this is just the appetizer.

Grab tickets early—new gondola office has SkyCard pickups. Uncrowded slopes, 5850 acres calling your name. Pack layers, check lifts daily, and let's send it on Lone Mountain!
