One&Only's First Luxury Resort in the US is Coming to Big Sky
Lone Mountain Land Company and Kerzner International Holdings Limited recently announced plans for One&Only Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, which will become the first One&Only resort and residential community in the United States when it opens in 2024. Located between Lone Peak and the Spanish Peaks, the property will showcase Montana's breathtaking scenery and will be connected by gondola to Big Sky Resort's world-class skiing, as well as provide access to mountain golf courses. The brand's first alpine resort will be designed by renowned architect Olson Kundig and will include 73 guest rooms and suites in the main lodge, 19 secluded villas throughout the resort, a separate ski lodge, and a Chenot Spa. In addition, the resort will introduce the first community of One&Only Private Homes in the U.S., offering 62 private residences throughout the landscape.

Big Sky Resort Updates

New Lone Peak Tram to Glide in for the 2023-24 Season
In the final phase of Big Sky 2025, Big Sky Resort will transform the lift experience to Lone Peak with a massive feat of engineering. After 25 years of operation, the old tram will be retiring to make way for a new model which will include an all-glass viewing platform at the peak with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, and down the fall line of Lone Mountain through a glass floor. This reimagined scenic tram to the summit of Lone Peak complements the ski access, offering guests a must-do activity during both winter and summer seasons. The new tram project broke ground in summer 2022 with a debut for the winter 2023-24 season.

Big Sky Resort to Offer Night Skiing
As the sun sets on Lone Peak, fasten your headlamp and get ready to ski. A private, guided tour of Andesite Mountain begins with a ride up Ramcharger 8, complete with heated seats and a weather-proof bubble. The views are a little different at night: countless stars illuminate the sky and distant snowcats methodically prepare the slopes for the following day. Headlamps provided are as powerful as a car headlight, illuminating the way for guests carving down freshly groomed runs.

The Umbrella Bar Opens at Big Sky Resort
The New Umbrella Bar elevates the liveliness in the Mountain Village, transporting guests to a European-style après ski experience. Expansive 360-degree views through an all-glass enclosure allow for enjoying draft beers or craft cocktails with a front row seat to Big Sky's Lone Peak. Located adjacent to the Summit Hotel, the new Umbrella Bar offers al fresco après on warm spring days and a toasty, intimate setting for a mid-winter warm-up. The bar opened for the 2022-23 season.

Swift Current 6 Chairlift Debuts
Swift Current 6 Chairlift is Big Sky Resort's newest six-person, high-speed lift, which has increased uphill capacity by nearly 50% and includes a weatherproof bubble and ultrawide heated seats. The upgrade is the resort's next step in creating the most technologically-advanced lift network in North America, a key pillar of the Big Sky 2025 Vison. Swift Current 6 offers guests reliability, efficiency, and a staggeringly fast, warm, and comfortable ride up Lone Mountain. The lift debuted for the 2021-22 season.

The Summit Hotel Renovation Complete
The Summit Hotel, the premier slopeside lodging at Big Sky Resort, recently debuted a transformative renovation that completely updated all 213 guest rooms and common spaces with a lighter, sleeker, luxe aesthetic. Upgrades include improved energy efficiency across all rooms and common spaces. From the elevated-by-the-elements polish of its lobby to the alluring details that infuse its on-mountain rooms and inspired dining options, the Summit signs every detail with an alpine air.

Huntley Lodge Transformation
Huntley Lodge recently underwent a significant renovation of its 200 hotel rooms, keeping the unique architectural aesthetic, natural colors and textures found in Montana, with a new, sleek design to evoke a sense of authenticity and warmth. The modern mountain luxury theme enhances the guest's experience and comfort with modern plumbing features, showers, improved sound dampening, furniture, and top-of-the-line electronics throughout. 

Montage Big Sky Opens, Elevating the Destination to a New Level of Luxury
