What can I see and do on Lone Peak?
- Skiing
Not only does Big Sky boast the biggest vertical drop in the United States, it has some of the most expansive expert terrain anywhere, and is renown throughout the industry for its non-existent lift lines. Now encompassing neighbor, Moonlight Basin, Big Sky Resort features 5,750 skiable acres. - The Lone Peak Tram
In 1995 the resort reached up to 11,150 feet with the Lone Peak Tram. This engineering feat gained riders access to some of the most challenging double-black diamond terrain found in-bounds (i.e. Big Couloir, diving right off the top of the peak), a range of steep chutes from glorious to gnarly (the South Wall); and some of the most pleasurable high-country bowl skiing in the biz (the 1,500 vertical feet of Liberty Bowl). - Hike to the Top
Ride the Swiftcurrent Lift and then follow the treacherous Summit Trail to the 11,166 foot top. This 2.8 mile round-trip hike offers spectacular views. - Lone Peak Expedition
In the summer months, take the Swiftcurrent Lift, followed by a jeep tour to the base of the tram, followed by an exciting tram ride to the top.
