Less than 20 miles from the Yellowstone National Park boundary, Big Sky has more skiable acres than any other ski area in the U.S. During the spring and summer, Big Sky transforms into an outdoor recreation haven brimming with trout streams and lakes for superb fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.

Whether you’re visiting for the super ski slopes or a family vacation in the warmer months, Big Sky has a large selection of vacation homes, which are larger and more comfortable and convenient than hotel rooms. A perusal of the Big Sky vacation home menu reveals luxurious chalets with fireplaces and hot tubs, rustic cabins with spectacular mountain views in heavily wooded areas, and amenity-loaded condominiums with swimming, pools, fitness centers, and tennis courts.

Skiers, welcome to more than 5,512 skiable acres in Big Sky on three separate mountains with 220 named runs covering over 110 miles, a 4,350 feet of vertical drop, 20 ski and 5 surface lifts, and more than 400 inches of average annual snowfall. One lift ticket will get you access to both the Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin ski areas.

To fully immerse in the western lifestyle when the weather warms, the Gallatin River is a popular spot for fly-fishing, whitewater rafting, and kayaking.

For golfers, tee up at the 18-hole, par 72 Arnold Palmer designed Big Sky Golf Course with its undulating fairways and stunning backdrop of Lone Mountain. Open May through early October, the complex offers a driving range, practice putting green, and on-site lessons.

Fun kids activities in the Big Sky area include the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center and Historic Crail Ranch.

Let’s face it, ski equipment, outdoor recreation paraphernalia, mountain bikes and other gear take up lots of room and storage space. If you stay in a vacation rental you’ll have lots of room for your luggage and sports gear, and spacious living areas where you can lounge comfortably and recharge for the next day on the slopes or other activities. Enhancing the appeal of a vacation rental is the fully equipped kitchen, which allows you to bypass expensive restaurants and prepare a wide variety of money-saving meals from snacks and sandwiches to gourmet feasts.
