FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Where can I find discounted lift tickets?
For Big Sky only, currently, the best deals would be either the Frequest Sky Card or the Powder Pak. The Sky Card gets you $20 off per lift ticket. Each Sky Card is entitled to purchase one lift ticket per day, so if you have more than one skier, each skier would need to get their own card. The Sky Card also gets you 10% off Big Sky owned shops and 25% off Saturday ski lessons.

How do I ski in and ski out? The usual way to ski out is by the Bear Back Poma lift, although, if conditions are good, you could ski down to the Thunder Wolf high speed quad. To ski back, you would take the Silver Knife run and turn right when you reach the top of the Poma lift. We are also on the free ski shuttle route. For those who'd don't want to use the Poma or ski down to Thunder Wolf, we are 1/4 mile from the main base area.

Do you have a hot tub? No, but discounted passes to the Moonlight Basin Lodge pool, hot tub and workout facilities are available.

How far away is cross country skiing? A cross country trail starts about 100 steps from our front door, and down the mountain is the world class Lone Mountain Ranch.

Do I need a rental car? A rental car is more convenient, but not necessary. We are on the free shuttle route to the restaurants, shopping and groceries.

Where is the best place to shop for groceries? If you book with us, we provide a welcome document that includes all that information and much more.

Can I use my smart phone to see where I and my friends are on the ski slopes? OK, so this isn't a frequently asked question, but it is a fun thing to do. With SatSki, you can see where you are and where your friends are anywhere on the mountain. Plus, you can record and play back on Google earth every run you did that day. It will also track your speed.
