What to Expect this Season at Big Sky

Big Sky is renowned for its expansive ski terrain, offering a mix of beginner, intermediate, and expert runs.

Additionally, Big Sky continues to emphasize its commitment to sustainability, with eco-friendly initiatives aimed at preserving the pristine mountain environment. Whether for skiing, snowboarding, or simply enjoying the breathtaking mountain vistas, Big Sky in the 2023-2024 season is set to be a top destination for winter sports aficionados.


2023/24 Big Sky Lift Ticket & Pass Options

Ski Big Sky on the Ikon Pass

The resort’s Gold Pass includes an Ikon Base Pass. Pass holders will enjoy unlimited skiing plus access to the Ikon Pass. Passholders enjoy the best and most flexible access to Big Sky resort vs lift ticket customers, so we recommend purchasing your pass ASAP. 
Every season pass purchase includes Worry-Free Winter Assurance, which provides credit towards a 2023-24 season pass based on the number of days lost if the resort were to close due to unforeseen circumstances and operate fewer than 140 days.

However, If you only plan to ski for less than four days, purchasing lift tickets may be your cheapest option. Big Sky does not currently have any plans to manage visitation and walk-up tickets should be available, but not recommended as same-day lift ticket sales may be restricted at any time, so we highly recommend securing your winter lift access now.
