rooms and Solace Spa.

our elbow room.

world class challenges no matter what your skill level. . The Swifty
and Pony Park are for people just getting their feet under them.
Tubing & FAMILY FUN
ZONE
After the slopes close, the lights
come on and the Family Fun Zone springs to life. Located just up the
slope from Snowcrest Lodge & Village Center, the Family Fun Zone
features a 500-foot long tube park along "Adrian's Way" carpet lift.
New this season is a small terrain park with boxes, rails and
kickers. Kids of all ages can practice tricks on their boards or
skis under the lights in "the zone."
Lone Peak Tram
The Lone Peak Tram is proud to
transport skiers and riders for the 12th season. The story of its
inception is one of labor and love. Before The Tram, Big Sky Resort
was known for its intermediate terrain and light lift lines. But a
hankering for the extreme among Big Sky's core riders fueled
management's decision to shun industry critics and install a tram to
the summit which would expand the resort's overall size by 50%. This
furthered Big Sky's skiable terrain by over 1,200 acres and
increased the vertical to 4,350 feet, placing it among the top three
ski resorts in North America. Construction didn't happen without its
share of logistical concerns, though. The Tram was built with the
aid of 3,000 helicopter flights and hundreds of specialized
high-altitude workers. Even heavy construction equipment had to be
torn apart and reassembled at the summit. Today, The Tram continues
to transport technical skiers and riders to some of the most
difficult terrain in the country while welcoming the less advanced
skiers and sightseers to 360 degree views of three states, two
national parks and dozens of peaks.
Just the Facts
The inside of the cabins were
originally painted pink to have a calming effect on the
passengers.
A model of The Lone Peak Tram was
blown up in Warren Miller's 1996 film Snowriders.
Construction began on June 4, 1995
and The Tram was opened to the public on December 23, 1995.
The Tram has played a key role in
several marriage proposals and wedding ceremonies.
The ride alone is worth it for the
scenery with 360 degree views of 3 States and surrounding mountain
ranges, including the Tetons on a clear day.
The Tram may be enjoyed by
intermediates who can navigate the groomed blue runs from the top
of the Lone Peak triple chair on down to Tram
boarding area, then ride the Tram
round trip.
The Lone Peak Tram is a Doppelmayr
lift built by Matrix construction from Alaska, a firm specializing
in high altitude and arctic conditions. It travels 1,450 vertical
feet over a distance of 2,828 feet with two cabins alternating
directions.
In 2007 both Tram cars received a
make-over including new windows, the installation of a more
durable and protective lining as well as new artwork on the
exterior.
Round trip airfare to Bozeman, charter bus
service to Big Sky Resort, 7 nights lodging, a daily "deluxe" breakfast
buffet, great company and of course great TBSS club activities.
