Premier Ski Access: Weather Dependent, Big Sky Resort will operate during the 2024-2025 season: Early season: Opening Day 11/27/24 - 12/13/24 Late season: 4/1/25 - Closing Day 4/27/25 Opening and Closing Days are subject to change based on conditions. Please check Big Sky Resort site for lift operations for: Cascade, White Otter, and Little Thunder Lifts.
** Please be aware when making your reservation that lift access in November, early December, and April might not be available. Please check the Big Sky Resort website for the most up-to-date lift schedule.
When Starting Your Ski Day: Follow Little Thunder run down to the Cascade run and then through the ski tunnel that goes under the road. Then take the White Otter lift up and ski to the Big Sky Resort main base area. The easiest route is to make an immediate right onto the narrow traverse on the right side of White Wing, to reach the base area.
When Ending Your Ski Day: The easiest way back home is to look for the four trail signs. Follow the sign for the designated trail to take you to the base of the Cascade lift. You will follow the main flow of the trail, but make sure to take the sharp left over the White Otter Access Bridge, then go straight down the hill following the trail under the White Otter lift. At the base of the White Otter lift, you will see the base of the Cascade lift. As you ski off Cascade make a hard right to the Little Thunder lift which will take you right back to 8 Little Thunder.

Climate and Comfort Please note that this home does not have air conditioning, as it is typical in Montana. Most homes in Big Sky don't, thanks to our typically mild summer temperatures. For a true Montana experience, we recommend our classic "Montana A/C": open the windows at night to let in the cool mountain air, then close them and draw the blinds first thing in the morning to keep the cool air inside throughout the remainder of the day.
The home is equipped with heat for the cooler months, ensuring a cozy stay year-round. 4 Fireplaces throughout the home
