When Boyne Resorts partnered with the owners of the Yellowstone Club in 2013 to purchase the existing Moonlight Basin and Spanish Peaks developments, the “Biggest Skiing in America” was officially born at Big Sky Resort. The idea was conceived in 2005 when the 2,000 acres at Moonlight Basin and over 3,000 acres at Big Sky were offered on a single ticket for the first time for just $78. Today, the 2,000 additional acres on the North Face of the mountain and 200 additional acres in the Spanish Peaks area allow for 38 lifts across 5,850 skiable acres at Big Sky Resort. Now, Big Sky, Montana, is one of the most popular ski destinations in North America. Vacationing families, passionate powderhounds, and secluded billionaires alike are all looking to take advantage of this incredible mountain’s expanding infrastructure. But, after 10 years and almost 6,000 acres of skiable terrain, the economic and social implications of an ever-growing corporate presence in town and on the mountain have begun to worry its residents and the snowsports community.

Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.

The U. S. Congress is currently considering a proposal to retain a section of wilderness near Steamboat Springs where several investors, over the course of 50 years, hoped and tried - and failed - to build a ski resort.  A bill to expand the Sarvis Creek Wilderness to its original form was introduced by Rep. Joe Neguse and Sens. Michael Bennett and John Hickenlooper in March. It awaits a hearing in the House's Committee on Natural Resources. What's been set aside since the 1970s is a 6,817-acre stretch along the Green and Harrison Creeks. The area, called Pleasant Valley, was first...

Mountains draw travelers in for a variety of activities year-round. Some even seem to define a region. Take, for example, the Alps — an iconic range that traverses western Europe. Similarly, a section of western America is blessed with the massive Rocky Mountains, natural wonders that span 3,000 miles across Canada and through several U.S. states. On the lower part of the Rockies, travelers will discover Park City, Utah, a gem that sparkles year-round in the Wasatch Mountains.
