First Look: Montage Big Sky

Montage Big Sky, covered with snow, sits in the mountains of Montana.

Yellowstone National Park’s new neighbor brings the outdoors in.

Make tracks to southern Montana for the ski country’s marquee debut this season: Montage Big Sky, which opened in December with ski-in/ski-out access to Big Sky Resort’s 5,850 acres. Fireplaces, wet bars, and marble soaking tubs distinguish the 139 rooms in the area’s first luxury resort – comfortable quarters from which to explore the mountain and Yellowstone National Park’s geyser-frosted landscapes 50 miles to the south.

Guests return to a family swimming pool, separate lap pool, spa, and bowling alley, as well as six restaurants and bars, including Cortina, serving northern Italian specialties, and Alpenglow, with a tableside raclette cart. In winter, the on-site Powder Park tempts families with snowbiking and tubing on a 450-foot hill, plus a practice slope for beginner skiers and riders.

By spring, anglers can cast for trout on three of North America’s most revered fly-fishing rivers – the Madison, Gallatin, and Yellowstone – while hikers have their pick of 30-plus trails, and golfers can tee off on the adjacent Spanish Peaks Mountain Club’s Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole course. Virtuoso travelers receive breakfast daily and a $100 resort credit.
