Nestled on top of the scenic Gallatin National Forest and surrounded by the Spanish Peaks, Big Sky is a small community known for being a recreational haven especially during winter and summer seasons. The community benefits well from the thriving tourism industry mostly due to the presence of its main attraction, the Big Sky Ski Resort. Located just 48 miles from the beautiful Yellowstone Park, Big Sky offers one of the best living conditions in the United States.

The first alpine area was not developed until the 1970’s and it took 3 years for the entire development to be completed. Even if the area is considered to be mainly a ski town, Big Sky surprisingly offers fun summer activities as well. The cool summer months are perfect for tennis, golf, hiking, biking, fishing and horseback riding. Gondola rides are also available for residents and visitors who want to breathe in all of Big Sky’s beauty.

 Naturally, the winter season is when this small community comes to full life. The days are filled with recreational activities like skiing, skating and sleigh rides. With over 5,512 acres, 220 trails and 400 inches of snow, Big Sky Resort is the favorite venue for most of these winter activities. The town of Big Sky hosts several events including Dirt Bag Day, Christmas Eve Festivities, Big Sky County Fair, New Year’s Eve Fireworks Display, Chili Cook Off, Big Sky food festival and so much more.

  Despite its young age, the Big Sky community has some interesting historical landmark such as the Karst’s Camp. Considered today as a ghost town, the land where Karst’s Camp is built on is one of the earliest Montana ski ventures. People who visit the camp will actually have a chance to see some of the old cabins that date back to the 1900s.

 Big Sky residents enjoy a full range of amenities provided by the town’s local government including schools, parks and a public library. The commercial district has over several bars, restaurants, bars and retail shops including groceries, clothing and toys stores. Big Sky utilities are provided by Northwestern Energy, Big Sky Water and Sewer and cable, satellite and dish networks.
