What's New Winter 2024-25
Madison 8 – heated seats and bubbles in Moonlight Basin Terrain
Big Sky Resort is now in a class of its own as the only North American ski resort with three bubble D-line lifts and the only North American ski resort with two eight-place lifts. Madison 8, which replaced the Six Shooter lift, will double uphill capacity and reduce ride time by 30%. Enjoy the 8-minute ride on the world’s longest 8-place lift.
Cheers to the 24/25 season with M8 Mountain Lager
To commemorate the opening of Madison 8, we’re continuing our partnership with Map Brewing Co. to create a special brew that reflects our shared passion for adventure and innovation. M8 Mountain Lager is crisp, refreshing, and born to celebrate Big Sky Resort's new Madison 8 (M8) eight-place lift. This limited-edition brew includes notes of subtle floral hops and a hint of malt sweetness, a perfect companion for your après-ski adventures after a day exploring the Moonlight Basin ski terrain. This easy-drinking mountain lager is as smooth as a lift ride with our famed heated seats and signature weatherproof bubbles.
Lone Peak Tram Lower Terminal – a high alpine architectural marvel
At the bottom terminal of the Lone Peak Tram stands an architectural marvel: a sweeping glass dome that encapsulates nature’s artistry. This remarkable structure, composed of over 400 panels of one-inch-thick glass, creates a protective canopy over the terminal’s base, where visitors begin their journey to Lone Peak. The semi-enclosed dome allows the tram cabins to be protected from the elements when not in use, keeping them pristine for years to come.
The dome’s design draws inspiration from the intricate beauty of snowflakes and the artistry of natural elements. Each piece of glass is meticulously shaped and placed to form a fluid, faceted surface that mimics the elegance of snowdrifts and ice crystals. The interplay of light, shadows, and reflections on the glass panels evokes the dynamic and ever-changing nature of snow and ice. Just as snowflakes vary in form and beauty, so does this structure shift in perception based on viewing angles and environmental conditions, turning every glance into a unique visual experience.

A New Approach to Mastering the Mountain
Join Ski Hall of Fame legend Dan Egan and Big Sky’s top Mountain Sports Pros for Summit Pursuits, a three-day journey into the art of skiing and snowboarding on Lone Mountain’s legendary terrain. Summit Pursuits stands out for its focus on the mental game, unlocking your potential through mindfulness techniques honed over decades of skiing. Dan’s unique perspective will transform the way you see (and ski) the mountain.
“I teach skiing from the head down, not the feet up. If you’re looking to explore more of the mountain – from bumps and trees to powder and steeps – these camps are for you. The goal is to change the way you see the mountain. I believe if I can change the way you see it, I can change the way you ride it as well.” - Dan Egan
Powder to the People
Big Sky Resort is making significant strides in its long-term strategy to modernize and expand snowmaking capabilities. This season brings exciting additions, including new snowmaking infrastructure on the lower portion of Hangman's and the Calamity Jane headwall. These improvements are part of an ambitious upgrade initiative that, since 2021, has seen the installation of five pumps, two pump houses, 10 miles of new pipe, and more than 100 snow guns. Efficiencies in snowmaking equipment decrease energy use and water, aligning with the resort’s ForeverProject sustainability goals.
Levinski Lodge – new Team Member Housing within walking distance
In summer 2024, Big Sky Resort opened Levinski Lodge Buildings B & C to complete the Levinski Lodge team member housing campus. With the completion of Levinski Lodge B and C, Big Sky Resort will provide more than 1,000 team member housing beds in Big Sky, more than five times the ski industry average. The Levinski Lodge complex offers more than 200 beds within a 5-minute walk to the resort. Big Sky Resort subsidizes the costs of housing significantly. On average, rates are between 50 to 60 percent of market rates across all unit types.
