Ski Report for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Daily Ski Conditions for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Hey shredders, Big Sky Resort in Montana is firing up the stoke with solid early-season action on Lone Mountain! Right now, the base at 2073m sits at a grippy 20cm of snow, while the summit at 3403m boasts 76cm—perfect for carving those groomers without bottoming out. Fresh dust from yesterday (Dec 26) added some playfulness, and today's light snow showers could drop another 1-2 inches by afternoon, keeping things lively.
With 31 of 40 lifts spinning (78% open), including the brand-new Explorer Gondola—the world's fastest 10-person beast with heated seats and epic views—you can zip from base to summit via the Lone Peak Tram in just 15 minutes, unlocking newbie-friendly mid-mountain runs and that all-glass Kircliff observatory for non-skiers too. That's 128km of 250km pistes open (51%), so plenty of terrain to rip, though valley runs are good to go.
Weather's biting cold today: around 10-12°F at base, dipping to -7/-5°F up high under cloudy skies with light winds—bundle up! Looking ahead, expect chilly vibes through New Year's: tomorrow (Sun 28) max 19°F with no new snow, warming to 34-40°F mid-week but staying below freezing aloft, possible trace flurries Tue/Wed. Pistes are gripping firm, ideal for speed demons, while off-piste varies wildly—think preserved stashes but watch for wind crust; always pack avalanche gear and don't go solo.
Season total's building toward Big Sky's legendary 400-inch average, with reliable base depths ahead. Pro tip: Park at Lone Peak or Carpool lots for quick gondola access—no more shuttle hassles—and grab tickets at the new base office. Lifts run daily through April 26, but check for last-minute tweaks. Time to load the quiver and chase those Gallatin lines—Big Sky's uncrowded magic awaits!
