HomeBig Sky 2025

2024-25 Trips:

Uncrowded slopes. Long blue groomers. Some of the steepest lift-served (and hike-to) terrain in the world. Infinite possibilities. Big Sky has it all. With over 5850 skiable acres, and over 2300 acres for beginner and intermediate skiers, there's plenty to ski/board no matter your style.

We'll be staying slopeside in the 2021 remodeled Huntley Lodge. A sumptuous daily buffet breakfast at Chet's, which overlooks the resort base will start your day. Pick up your skis/board from the Ski Valet and you are steps away from the Explorer Chair and Swift Current six-pack just outside the door. Included in your package is a welcome reception, club dinner, farewell dinner with Crescent and much more. We will help organize optional group events such as a day trip to Yellowstone on Wednesday, and individual activities such as the Tram to Lone Peak, Enchanted Forest, Headlamp Night Skiing, Sno-Go Biking, and more.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

(1) Is this Big Sky trip the only ski trip you're taking this year? OR
Is this Big Sky trip the only ski trip you're taking to resorts that accept the Ikon Pass?
And do you plan to ski the typical Sun, Mon, (take off either Tues or Wed), Thurs, Fri?

Then purchase a one-day SUNDAY lift through the trip registration page ($185 Adult) and purchase a 4-day Freestyle pass directly from Big Sky (before Sept 9) at BigSkyResort.com/season-pass/freestyle ($450 Adult) totaling $635 (Adult). (Discounted rate for seniors available. Applicable tax will be added to Freestyle Passes at checkout.)

(2) Have you already purchased an IKON Pass for 2024-25?

If you purchased the IKON Base Pass or the IKON Base Plus Pass, be aware of Blackout dates and consider an optional single-day group lift ticket for Sunday ($185 Adult). ALL IKON Pass holders will need to make reservations for the dates they want to ski. The IKON Pass website is now accepting reservations.

(3) Are you thinking about purchasing an IKON Pass?

Will you be skiing additional week(s) beyond the Big Sky trip either with Nashville at another IKON resort or on your own (with friends or family) at another IKON resort?

An IKON Pass might save you some money, but you'll want to compare the cost of the pass you choose (IKON, IKON Base, or IKON Base Plus Pass) to the price of a Big Sky Freestyle Pass plus the cost of group lift tickets available to you at the other resorts you will be visiting.

UPDATE July 19: We have secured additional Hotel space (a Loft Hotel room) which has three beds in it. The price is the same per person as the Q/Q rooms we originally offered. If you would like to get in one of the Loft units, note in the roommate line either the names of your other two roommates or just "+loft Hotel room" if you are willing to accept roommates. When we fill the Loft we will notify you and payment will be due at that time. If nothing is listed in the roommate area, we will assume you are only willing to go if a Q/Q room becomes available. Register on the trip page and when you get to the payment section follow the instructions, do not send any money. A trip leader will contact you when a space becomes available. You will make your final acceptance on the trip at this point. Payment will be due by credit/debit or check received at the tour operator's Nevada office within 10 days.

If you would like to see photos of the Loft Room, you may do so on the Huntley Lodge's website. Look for the Two Queen, Queen/Twin Bunk Loft description. This room has two queen beds on the lower level and a loft with a bunk bed where the lower bunk is a queen and the top bunk is a twin.
