FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE IS REQUIRED DURING WINTER MONTHS (Oct - May) Winter Season: Cascade Lift runs from December through early-to-mid April. Please check Big Sky Resort's site for lift operation. Premier Ski Access Weather Dependent, Big Sky Resort will operate from November 24, 2022 - April 23, 2022 for the 22/23 winter season. The hours and dates of operation for the White Otter Lift will be December 16, 2022, through April 9, 2023, 9 am - 4 pm daily. The Cascade and Little Thunder Lifts are scheduled to run from December 16, 2022 - April 9, 2023 (11 am - 4:30 pm) during the winter season. *** This winter season, Rope Tow Joe is unable to run or be replaced. A trail easement encroachment has made any lift or rope tow in that location an unsustainable solution due to the lack of appropriate space for operations. ** Please be aware when making your reservation that lift access in November, early December, and April might not be available. When Starting Your Ski Day: Follow Little Thunder run down to the Cascade run and then through the ski tunnel that goes under the road. Then take the White Otter lift up and then ski to the Big Sky Resort main base area. The easiest route is to make an immediate right onto the narrow traverse on the right side of White Wing, to reach the base area. When Ending Your Ski Day: The easiest way back to the home is to look for the four trail signs. Follow the sign for the Cascade lift. You will follow the main flow of the trail, but make sure to take the sharp left over the White Otter Access Bridge, then go straight down the hill following the trail under the White Otter lift. At the base of the White Otter lift, you will see Rope Tow Joe on your left. Press the Start button and the rope tow will bring you to the base of the Cascade lift. As you ski off Cascade make a hard right to the Little Thunder lift which will take you right back to 8 Little Thunder.

Driveway Additional Notes NO PETS, NO SMOKING We highly recommend 4 wheel drive in the winter months (Oct-May). We don't believe it's a necessity for the summer months but do find it a good idea! Lucky for you, we offer all guests that book with us discounts for rentals in Bozeman! Events of any size are not allowed when staying at this property in accordance with the neighborhood/HOA rules. Like most homes in the area, this home does not have A/C. Summer guests are encouraged to take part in good ole' Montana A/C which is opening windows at night and closing them up during the day. Closing them during the day will help keep cool air inside, and we ask that you do so if you are not present at the home as well.  We are a local property management company. So if there is anything you need before, during, or after your trip, please let us know!  Transportation to Big Sky from Bozeman Airport In order to experience all that Big Sky has to offer, it is helpful to have access to a vehicle during your stay. This allows you to travel seamlessly throughout the community from the Gallatin River to Lone Peak. While ride-sharing and taxi services are abundant in other communities, Big Sky remains a small town with limited options for transportation. We offer a 5% discount code to Explore Rentals for confirmed guests. They are located minutes away from the Bozeman Airport and provide 4 wheel drive vehicles with dedicated snow tires in the winter and all-season tires in the summer!
