What's New Winter 2024-25
Madison 8 – heated seats and bubbles on the North Side
Big Sky Resort is now in a class of its own as the only North American ski resort with three bubble D-line lifts and the only North American ski resort with two eight-place lifts. Madison 8 , which replaced the Six Shooter lift, will double uphill capacity and reduce ride time by 30%. Enjoy the 8-minute ride on the world’s longest 8-place lift.
Lone Peak Tram Lower Terminal – a high alpine architectural marvel
At the bottom terminal of the Lone Peak Tram stands an architectural marvel : a sweeping glass dome that encapsulates nature’s artistry. This remarkable structure, composed of over 400 panels of one-inch-thick glass, creates a protective canopy over the terminal’s base, where visitors begin their journey to Lone Peak. The semi-enclosed dome allows the tram cabins to be protected from the elements when not in use, keeping them pristine for years to come.
The dome’s design draws inspiration from the intricate beauty of snowflakes and the artistry of natural elements. Each piece of glass is meticulously shaped and placed to form a fluid, faceted surface that mimics the elegance of snowdrifts and ice crystals. The interplay of light, shadows, and reflections on the glass panels evokes the dynamic and ever-changing nature of snow and ice. Just as snowflakes vary in form and beauty, so does this structure shift in perception based on viewing angles and environmental conditions, turning every glance into a unique visual experience.
