Field notes
1h from Bozeman (BZN)
From Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), drive south on US-191 through Gallatin Canyon to Big Sky, then wind up Lone Mountain Trail through the Moonlight Basin gate. Roads are paved, though winter driving requires 4WD due to heavy snow and icy mountain grades.
Ski-In/Ski-Out & Guide Booking
Private ski instructors, snowmobile guides, and summer fly-fishing trips should be booked at least 45 to 60 days in advance. Cabin guests have direct access to private boot heaters and ski valets.
Altitude & Expansion Construction
At an elevation of 7,500 feet, guests coming from sea level may experience mild altitude adjustments on their first day. As a new ultra-luxury development, some ongoing construction of residential estates may be visible in nearby basin sectors.
