This translates into few lift lines at 38 lifts and ample terrain to meet every skier’s demand. Trail Map The terrain is 15% Beginner, 25% Intermediate, 42% Advanced and 18% Expert. Big Sky has a massive 4,350 feet vertical, topped by the spectacular, tram-serviced, Lone Peak. It also enjoys reliable annual snowfall averaging 400 inches. Big Sky
