Description
Ski Report for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Daily Ski Conditions for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Big Sky Resort is dishing out prime shredding right now, with all 40 lifts spinning and 87% of its massive 250km of slopes open— that's over 5,850 acres of uncrowded Montana magic waiting for your turns. Base depth sits at a solid 102-102cm (40 inches), climbing to 132cm (52 inches) up top at 3,403m, blending packed powder and variable surfaces for grippy carving on piste, while off-piste holds that fresh vibe from recent dumps. No new snow in the last 24 hours, but 4 inches fell over 48 hours (including that 4-inch blast on Feb 9), with season total around 4 inches so far—though expect the usual 400-inch beast mode as winter ramps up.
Weather's playing nice today with fair skies at altitude turning cloudy below, temps maxing 40°F at base (feels like 19°F early) and dipping to 22°F overnight—perfect for laps without freezing your face off. Look ahead: Friday clears up to 35°F highs, then cloudy stretches Saturday-Monday at 37-40°F, with new snow possible Tuesday (up to 3cm summit) as snowline drops—prime for powder chasers. Winds stay light, mostly S/SW F2, keeping it shred-friendly.
Locals love the laid-back vibe here—no crowds, epic 4,366ft vertical from 11,166ft summit, and hike-to gates like Bone Crusher or Headwaters Chutes for expert backcountry hits (grab a guide if new). Resort's open daily 9a-4p through April 26, uphill travel on select routes (no pass needed), and valley run's good to go. Word from the mountain: 2 inches already today with 5 more forecast, winds gusting west 20mph—could turn epic fast. Pack layers, hit the Madison 8 for quickest pow access, and score those bluebird corduroy mornings. Big Sky's calling—drop in!
