Big Sky is #1 Favorite Resort in North America

BIG SKY, Mont. — Big Sky Resort is celebrating this week after being presented with an outstanding mark of distinction. Users of the website Onthesnow.com voted Big Sky as North America’s Favorite Resort in the Overall category of their Visitors Choice Awards.

Onthesnow.com is the internet snow reporting website for the Mountain News Corporation.  Mountain News has been doing radio snow reports for over 40 years; they are the #1 website for snow reporting on the information superhighway.

On the website, skiers and snowboarders can write reviews of resorts that they have visited and are also asked to rank them in five categories: Most Family-friendly, Best Nightlife, Best Downhill Terrain, Best Terrain Park and, the most sought-after, Overall Favorite. Big Sky won the highest accolade of Overall favorite, whilst also receiving many mentions on the website for other categories. The Resort also persistently ranks as the #1 favorite resort in Montana.

Onthesnow.com attracts 1.2 million unique visitors each month during the winter, so an award such as this truly is a prestigious honor. It shows that a large number of people across the country, and indeed the world, genuinely feel that Big Sky Resort offers the best there is out there in terms of an overall top-notch ski vacation.

Reviews on the website consistently repeat phrases such as, ‘Lift lines are non-existent’ and, ‘great snow and terrain,’ highlighting that what Big Sky has to offer really is what people are looking for.  Comments of ‘Big Sky is great’ or, ‘Best snow and terrain in North America’ are not uncommon.

This exposure will be great for the future of both the Resort and the general community, as not only does it indicate that people will keep returning to Big Sky year after year, but it will also highlight to prospective guests that they can count on a great vacation if they decide to visit here.

“We are all very excited that so many of our guests love Big Sky and are willing to tell the world about it,” says Lyndsey Kiland, a member of the Resort’s marketing team who collected the award. “It’s a great tribute to all the hard work everyone has put in this winter and really shows what we can achieve when we strive to be the best.”
