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 that classic big-mountain vibe right now, with gripping snow ready for epic carves on your skis or board. At the base (around 6,800 feet), you've got 20cm (about 8 inches) of snow depth, while the summit at 11,166 feet boasts a healthier 76cm (30 inches)—perfect for holding an edge without the ice factor. No massive dumps in the last 24 or 48 hours, but yesterday's light action and a fresh 1 inch reported today have kept things prime, with the last real snowfall hitting on December 22.
The mountain's buzzing: 31 of 40 lifts are spinning (78% open), including the brand-new Explorer Gondola—the world's fastest 10-person beast that just opened December 20, whisking you from base to summit via the Lone Peak Tram in just 15 minutes, no hiking required. That's 128km of 250km trails open (51%), so plenty of groomers and valley runs to rip, though early season means sticking to what's lit.
Weather's chilly and playful today—cloudy skies at the base with temps hovering 23-34°F (feeling like -5 to 1°C), dropping to 7-19°F up high, light winds, and possible snow showers adding 1-2 more inches this afternoon. Think freeze-thaw turns into grippy corduroy. Looking ahead, brace for colder snaps: tomorrow (Dec 28) max 24°F base with 1 inch possible, then 19°F Sunday, warming to 33-40°F by Thursday amid clear spells and flurries—prime for powder stashes if it stacks.
Pistes are gripping and solid for all levels, especially with the gondola's mid-station feeding beginner bliss like Mr. K. Off-piste? Variable with wind-scoured spots, but cold air's preserving any untracked goodies—pack your avy gear and check local reports. Season total's building steadily since November 26 open, no exact tally yet but above average at 30 inches base.
Pro tip: Hit the new Kircliff glass observatory at the summit for jaw-dropping views over three states and Yellowstone—no skis needed. Resort's open through April 26, but watch for last-minute lift tweaks. Grab your pass, layers, and stoke—Big Sky's uncrowded legend status just leveled up!
