April at Big Sky: Spring Skiing's Best Kept Secret

Snow Action 31.08.2025

While you’re settling into autumn back home, imagine carving through soft spring snow under brilliant Montana sunshine, with the Rocky Mountains stretching endlessly before you. Spring skiing at Big Sky is America’s hidden gem that offers Australians the perfect northern hemisphere snow adventure without the peak season price tag.

Lift ticket prices drop during the spring season, with savings of more than 50% compared to peak winter pricing. Your accommodation dollars stretch further, too. The recently renovated Summit Hotel and the Huntley Lodge both offer spring rates that make a mountain stay surprisingly affordable for guests. The spacious Shoshone condominiums provide excellent value with their apartment-style layouts and convenient ski-in, ski-out access, perfect for families or groups travelling together.

Big Sky’s Spring Series adds an extra layer of excitement to your visit. This past year, Big Sky Resort brought back their beloved Pond Skim after a five-year hiatus. With fewer crowds on the mountain, you’ll experience shorter lift queues and plenty of space to explore Big Sky’s terrain. The relaxed atmosphere and extended daylight hours create the ideal environment for making the most of your US ski adventure.
