Published 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
Ski Report for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Daily Ski Conditions for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Hey powder hounds, Big Sky Resort is dishing out prime spring shredding right now with a solid **91 cm base at the base (2073m)** and **145 cm at the summit (3403m)**, perfect for carving those legendary lines across 5850 acres. Last snowfall hit on April 2 with fresh dustings keeping things gripping, and recent reports show about **2-3 inches new in the last 24 hours**, building on 24 inches over the past week for that buttery glide. You've got **15 of 40 lifts spinning** and **68 of 250 km trails open**, including Lone Peak Tram access—plenty of terrain to lap while daily ops run through April 12, then bonus weekends to the 26th.
Weather's crisp at **-6°C to 4°C** today with variable conditions on piste, transitioning to off-piste fun as sun peeks through clouds, but bundle up for those summit chills around 18°F. Brace for epic incoming: trace snow tonight ramps to **4-7 inches Wednesday, 6-9 Thursday**, then 1-2 Friday and a whopping **8-12 inches Saturday**—that's potential 20+ inches mid-week, slamming the powder piggy bank! Snow lines hover 2500-3000m early, dropping lower for base-loving riders.
Season total snowfall? Not fully pinned, but shallower than average packs are holding strong at 115% base depth norms, with April historically dumping the most (25cm/week). Pistes are grippy variable spring corn, off-piste decent in glades despite a mild winter—just one storm from blower status, and it's barreling in. Pro tip: snag Spring Series events Saturdays, lessons/rentals on bonus weekends, and hit the app for live cams. No major notices, but winds could gust SW 20-40mph—locals say charge the chutes early before the fluff flies. Time to point 'em and rip, Big Sky's secret April season is on fire!
