Lots of resorts have big peaks on the horizon. Big Sky's — Lone Peak — is actually on the trail map. The Lone Peak Tram takes you right to the top, where you'll have some eight square miles of runs and 4,350 vertical feet laid before your wide eyes. It is demonstrative evidence of their right to the title, "Biggest Skiing in America®." But it isn't the only evidence. Short lift lines ensure you get all the vertical your legs can handle. A vast diversity of terrain — from greenhorn to grab-your-avalanche-beacon — means nobody in the family gets bored. Add in 400 inches of powder, and you begin to see why "big" applies to every turn of your skis, not some distant, postcard peak.
