Big Sky, MT

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.

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.
