While 30 Middle Rider may leave you wanting nothing more, the Mountain Village and Madison Base areas are each a 5-minute drive in either direction, with numerous options for shopping, dining, ski rentals, lift tickets, and a small grocery store. Big Sky's Town Center is only a short 10-minute drive away, where guests can find additional options for activities, restaurants, retail, and local escapades. Looking for other things besides skiing and snowboarding while in Big Sky? Be sure to check out dog sledding, Nordic skiing, snow shoeing, a sleigh ride dinner at a local ranch, a snow mobile tour, or Yellowstone National Park. In the summer, choose from fly fishing, horseback riding, local ATV tours, hiking trails, rock climbing, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, golfing, white water rafting, weekly farmer's markets, and free concerts. One of the best parts of this location is the proximity to Beehive Basin, which is truly one of the most scenic hikes in Big Sky. 

Nestled in the scenic heart of the Madisons, Big Sky, Montana, offers an unparalleled base for year-round adventures. Located just an hour from both Yellowstone National Park and the vibrant college town of Bozeman, this charming community is perfectly positioned for exploration.

“Basecamp to Yellowstone” at Big Sky Resort serves as the ultimate launchpad for outdoor enthusiasts. In the summer, embark on scenic lift rides, guided hikes, and adrenaline-pumping activities like mountain biking and ziplining. The resort's Adventure Zipline is particularly thrilling, featuring four lines that span up to 1,500 feet and soar 150 feet above the forest floor, offering breathtaking views of Lone Mountain and the Spanish Peaks. For a more relaxed experience, the Nature Zipline provides a scenic journey suitable for all ages.

Big Sky Mountain Village, situated at the base of the resort, boasts a variety of shopping and dining options, making it a convenient and lively spot for visitors. Additionally, the charming Town Center of Big Sky is rapidly developing, offering a burgeoning scene of local shops, eateries, and cultural attractions.

Whether you're seeking exhilarating outdoor activities or a peaceful retreat in nature, Big Sky provides the perfect setting for your Montana adventures.

Ski Instructions:
Ski Out:
From the garage, walk directly forward to the groomed trail, then proceed down the trail across Middle Rider Road and onto the groomed access below. Follow this trail (labeled with small green signs with “B” on them) down and to the left until you go through the tunnel to the White Otter chair lift. Ride White Otter to the top and cross White Wing to follow signage to the Big Sky Base area.
 
Ski In:
Follow White Otter Access to the rope tow for the Cascade. Take the Cascade Lift to the top and climb the stairs to a groomed trail (labelled with small green sign with “B” and parallels Beehive Basin Road) that will take you back to Middle Rider Road (make a quick left onto “D” trail).

Not recommended for snowboarders or young children as the ski-in/ski-out are about 10-15 minutes long depending on snow conditions. The home is not ski-in/ski-out if Cascade lift is not running.
