You get tt he top of Lone Peak at Big Sky Montana by taking a chairlift to the tram.. It is extreme in many ways. This is for real Experts, not Expert wanna bes, or for fool hardy people. One side goes to Liberty Bowl, one part leads to the Big Coulier, which is about an ungroomed 50% pitch for about 1,000 feet vertical. One part of the Peak goes to the Madison Base. You do NOT want to fall on sny side of the mountain. You could travel a long way befpre you finally stopped and who knows where your equipment is if you fall and cannot self arrest. SKi or board down at your own risk, and please, be very careful.

This was an easy hike through beautiful mountain scenery. The snow made for a gorgeous backdrop for our walk to the falls. The frozen falls are just beautiful! There is ample parking and the path is cleared even in winter. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for a beautiful walk/hike while in Big Sky!

Big Sky Resort is closed for the winter season. We hope to see you summer 2020. This is Big Sky Resort, where 400 inches of powder fall on 5,800+ skiable acres and 4,350 vertical feet. Introducing two brand new Doppelmayr chair lifts as part of Big Sky 2025, our ten-year, $150-million investment at Big Sky. It’s the Biggest Skiing in America. But it’s not just getting bigger; it’s getting better. Vast diversity provides a big experience for every level. The only things that aren’t big are the lift lines, ensuring you get all the vertical you can handle. Unwind after a powder-filled day in luxurious slopeside accommodations so you can live big again tomorrow.

Really enjoyed the ski area...lots of different terrain and many untouched areas in powder days. Not as empty as we were led to believe but plenty of space!

The Yellowstone Club is a ski experience that sets the bar to the highest levels. The service is outstanding, the slopes groomed to perfection, on mountain dining excellent and the variety of terrain amazing. Our guide "Phatty" was a perfect combination of great skier, fun person and wonderful host. A unique ski facility like no other in North America.

Nice hike for all ages and abilities. I am a forty year old out of shape Wisconsin visitor and easily completed the 7.5 mile round trip in 3.5 hours. Recommend an early start for ease of parking and uncrowded trails. A steady climb through meadow of wide flowers and groves of evergreens leads into a slightly steeper grade of sand and rocks. The pay-off is an alpine lake rimmed by granite cliffs that rise 1,000 feet from the flower carpeted basin floor. Venturing off the path on the far side of the lake and strolling through the flowers below the Spanish peaks is rewarded by stunning views of lone mountain.
