Big Sky Resort has recently announced the addition of two new unique ski experiences this winter: First Tracks & Everett’s Breakfast and Headlamp Night Skiing. The new programs will extend access to Big Sky Resort and Andesite Mountain, offering the opportunity to hit the slopes before lifts open to the public and then later after they close for the day.

The First Tracks program is a memorable way to ski Big Sky Resort terrain before anyone else, with a professional guide to lead the way to the best, most appropriate terrain depending on conditions and skier ability. Guests will load onto Ramcharger 8 at 8 a.m., guaranteeing that participants will have the opportunity to carve lines through fresh corduroy or untracked powder with only friends and family.

This experience will be capped off with a gourmet breakfast at Everett’s 8800. Breakfast can be ordered off menu, including traditional offerings such as Eggs Benedict, French toast, fresh-baked scones, cinnamon rolls, coffee, and other hot items to warm up after an early morning on the slopes and provide sustenance for the rest of an extended ski day.

First Tracks & Everett’s Breakfast will be offered Wednesday through Friday. Skiers should be able to ski intermediate-level terrain to enjoy the First Tracks experience. A maximum of seven people per guide are permitted.

Not a morning person? If solitude, moonlight and endless stars are more your style, Headlamp Night Skiing, Big Sky Resort’s new night skiing experience offers private, guided tours of Andesite Mountain beginning at 6 p.m. with a ride up Ramcharger 8.

Under the starlight with distant snowcats methodically preparing the slopes for the following day, skiers and snowboarders are equipped with headlamps as powerful as car headlights, illuminating the way for guests to carve down freshly-groomed runs long after the sun has gone down.

Headlamp Night Skiing is available Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Participants are required to be a level six skier or rider and above, and there is also a maximum seven people per guide.


Upcoming Events Lineup
