The forested trail crosses a ravine and follows the scenic Gallatin River to a 100-foot waterfall plunging into a natural swimming hole. This Big Sky hike is beautiful in every season abounding in wildlife, fall foliage, and the breathtaking beauty of a frozen waterfall in winter. 

Uplands & Hummocks

Hiking & Snowshoeing
Moderate: 2.2-mile or 3-mile Loop Trail
Elevation Gain: 460 ft

The trailhead to the Uplands & Hummocks Big Sky community trails is located less than a mile from Big Sky Town Center, making this a great dog-friendly and close-to-town hike in Big Sky! Both trails are intermediate with forest canopies and aspen groves for shade, meadows of wildflowers in spring, regular wildlife sightings of moose, elk, and bears, and birds-eye views of Big Sky!

Big Sky Meadow Village

Meadow Village is the first Big Sky neighborhood you reach after exiting US Highway 191 from the Gallatin Canyon. Situated a scenic 7-mile drive (or free shuttle ride) from Mountain Village and Big Sky Resort, and walking distance to Big Sky Town Center, Meadow Village is centrally located to experience both sides of Big Sky – the resort vibe and local community! 

Big Sky Town Center has rapidly evolved into Big Sky’s downtown area and is the heartbeat of the local community. The Meadow Village and Big Sky Town Center neighborhood is home to a movie theater, outdoor ice rink, and the biggest concentration of restaurants, cafés, aprés bars, and stores in Big Sky. It’s also the main hub for Big Sky’s most notable local events including the Annual Big Sky Winter Fest.

Big Sky Meadow Village rentals do not have ski-in/ski-out access but you’re only a short drive or shuttle ride to free skier parking at Big Sky Resort. If cross-country skiing is on your Big Sky itinerary, the Big Sky Nordic Center is minutes away and connects to a network of trail systems at Lone Mountain Ranch. Our luxury Spanish Peaks Club condos are minutes from the trails … or seek seclusion in a custom mountain lodge in the meadows. Browse our selection of luxury Big Sky Meadow Village vacation rentals.

Big Sky Mountain Village

If proximity to Big Sky Resort amenities and ski lifts is your first priority, book your stay in Big Sky Mountain Village. The Mountain Village neighborhood sits at an elevation of 7,500 feet at the base of Big Sky’s iconic Lone Peak with majestic mountain views, a vibrant alpine atmosphere, and direct access to everything. 

There’s no need for a rental car in Mountain Village!

What to Expect at Big Sky Resort Winter 2022-23

Big Sky Resort has a goal to be “the best ski experience, the best hospitality experience, and the best community experience in the North American ski industry” and they are on track! 

As the Big Sky 2025 vision unfolds, each winter season at Montana’s Big Sky Resort gets bigger and better. Whether you’re a valued guest returning for an annual ski trip or Big Sky is dominating your ski destination searches and newsfeed and you’re coming to see what all the fuss is about – we’ve got the scoop on what’s new and what to expect at Big Sky Resort for the 2022-23 winter season ahead.

Opening Day at Big Sky Resort

Big Sky Resort opens for the 2022-23 winter season on Thursday November 24, 2022, just in time for a Thanksgiving getaway and early season ski trip! Snow comes early to the Northern Rockies and with Big Sky Resort’s expansive terrain (and advanced snowmaking facilities), the early season conditions make for a fun day on the slopes. The estimated closing date is April 23, 2023. Follow our Big Sky Vacation Blog for updates on Big Sky Resort opening day festivities – it’s always a blast!

Big Sky Resort Upgrades

The 2021-2022 Big Sky season opened with the introduction of the state-of-the-art Swift Current 6, Big Sky’s newest 6 person high-speed, heated chairlift and the fastest six-person chairlift in North America. In addition, Big Sky Resort installed new and advanced snowmaking equipment at the top of the Explorer Lift from Mountain Village base area, including two of the seven terrain parks, Swifty Park and The Cache.

Spectacular Terrain for All Abilities

Big Sky Resort boasts the “Biggest Skiing in America” with 5,850 acres of skiable terrain over four mountains, 300 named ski runs, 7 terrain parks, and 39 ski lifts (including the most technologically advanced lift network in North America). Stay within your limits on the wide beginner or intermediate groomers or, for steeps, deeps and unmatched expert inbound terrain, ride the Lone Peak Tram to the summit at a breathtaking 11,166 feet.

Don’t let the expanse of Big Sky intimidate you – there is terrain for every level of skier and snowboarder at Big Sky.

Book your Lift Tickets & Ski Days

To ensure an enhanced ski experience and maintain a reputation of fewer lift lines and uncrowded slopes, lift ticket availability may be limited on certain peak dates. Big Sky Resort encourages skiers and snowboards to buy lift tickets in advance for the best rates and availability. New to winter 2022-2023, Ikon and Mountain Collective pass holders will be required to reserve their ski days in advance.
