Ski Report for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Daily Ski Conditions for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Hey shredders, Big Sky Resort in Montana is dishing out prime early-season action on Lone Mountain, with that classic gripping snow begging for your carves. Base depth sits at a solid 20-29 cm (about 8-12 inches), climbing to 76 cm (30 inches) at the summit around 3403m—perfect for laying down turns without bottoming out. No massive dumps in the last 24-48 hours (0-4 inches reported), but the season total is stacking up at 4 inches so far, with 14 inches over the past week keeping things fresh. Last flakes fell December 26, and light snow showers could add 1-2 inches today.
Right now, 51% of terrain is open—128 of 250 km of slopes—with 78% of lifts spinning (31 of 40), including the brand-new Explorer Gondola that's revolutionizing base-to-summit access in just minutes. Valley runs are good to go, pistes are variable to machine-groomed and gripping, ideal for all-mountain ripping, though off-piste varies wildly—pack your avy gear and check local advice before venturing out. Temps hover around 25°F at the village with clear-to-partly cloudy skies, feeling crisp and carve-ready.
Looking ahead, brace for a powder tease: forecasts call for 1-4 inches over the next couple days, snowline dropping to base level, then warming to the 30s-40s°F with partly cloudy vibes and possible 2 cm fresh by Saturday. Highs climb from 24°F today to 35°F by Thursday, lows in the teens—classic Big Sky variability, so layer up.
Big bonus: the Explorer Gondola and epic Kircliff glass observatory at Lone Peak summit opened December 20, unlocking 11,166-foot views for skiers and sightseers alike, no hike required—game-changer for families and pow hounds. Lifts spin 9a-4p daily through April, but watch for construction tweaks. With 5850 acres, 400-inch annual average, and uncrowded vibes near Yellowstone, it's shred paradise—grab tickets early and think snow!
