\"Big<\/a><\/p>\n

Nestled in the corner of southwest Montana is Big Sky Resort<\/a>. Just as popular in its summer season as in the winter, Big Sky Resort hosts some the nation\u2019s best mountain adventures with over 5,750 acres of skiing, dinning, lodging, activities and amenities.<\/p>\n

In October of 2013, Big Sky Resort<\/strong> expanded and merged with Moonlight Basin Resort just north to become the largest ski resort in America. Its sheer size allows for 29,000 skiers per hour to traverse over 250 named runs, nine terrain parks and 29 lifts. The Lone Peak Tram transports skiers to the mountain\u2019s summit at 11,166 feet and to some of the resort\u2019s most difficult terrain, as well as former Moonlight Basin slopes.<\/p>\n

Known as the basecamp to Yellowstone, Big Sky Resort is the perfect launching point to explore America\u2019s prized National Forest.

The Boiling River<\/h2>\n

A week or two of skiing Big Sky Resort\u2019s<\/strong> all-intensive slopes will leave you exhilarated, but worn. Unknown to many, Big Sky lies adjacent to Montana\u2019s greatest secret \u2013 The Boiling River. Only a few miles away inside Yellowstone National Park are natural hot springs in which you can soak your sore muscles while taking in the rustic and untouched scenery. Be forewarned, it\u2019s about a half-mile long hike to the springs, but that\u2019s the price you pay to share your hot tub with a herd of elk.<\/p>\n
