Holy hell. First time in Big Sky and I am absolutely in love…read more The resort is MASSIVE...like, "I‑did‑three‑full‑days‑of‑boarding‑and-still-didn't‑hit‑every‑lift" massive. Every time we thought we were getting our bearings, we'd discover another whole zone tucked behind a ridge. Big Sky really does live up to its name. We kicked things off on what was supposed to be a "warm‑up run," but joke's on us, it was long, challenging, and honestly kind of brutal... in the best possible way. These runs are no joke and some of the longest I've ever ridden. But once the legs woke up, the rest of the day just flowed. Endless terrain, great snow, and barely any crowds. Absolute bliss. Had to pop into The Montage on the far left side of the mountain, and wow, the cocktails are phenomenal. Pricey? Yes. But you're on a mountain this bougie... what did we expect? Totally worth it. And let's talk about that gondola to tram combo up toward Lone Mountain. INSANE. The views are surreal, the exposure is wild, and the access is next‑level. Will I ever attempt the Big Couloir? Absolutely not. Do I love knowing it's there for people braver (and crazier) than me? Absolutely yes. Between the bowls, tree runs, off‑piste pockets, and wide‑open cruisers, there's truly something for everyone and somehow it never feels crowded. Big Sky has officially earned a top spot on my favorite‑resorts list. No question, I will 100% be back.

Sometimes a place has an excellent reputation but sits on its laurels and loses the excellence that…read morebuilt that reputation. I'm leaving this review because our experience at this upscale all inclusive resort was wildly inconsistent. The property is beautiful and the staff is kind, but the level of miscommunication and operational confusion was unlike anything I've experienced at this price point. A few of the major issues: * Serious health risk: The boxed lunches on our first days were unsafe for my diabetic brother and put him at risk of diabetic shock. These were the only meals available due to our scheduled activities. * Two different planners, both incorrect: * A "featured" restaurant they offered was actually closed. * We were booked for an activity that doesn't start for another two weeks. * The sky lift was presented as available but wasn't open. * Hot air balloon miscommunication: * The time we were given was wrong. * The balloon company had no record of our reservation. * We would have missed it entirely if I hadn't reconfirmed repeatedly. * Itinerary changes without notice: * Our schedule was altered multiple times without anyone informing us. * Another guest in the lobby was having the exact same issues. There were many more problems beyond these. They did tell us an employee had sabotaged their system, but it would be impossible for that one person to have caused everything we experienced. Bottom line: We had a good time, and the place itself is beautiful. But when you compare the price to the actual experience, I could not justify the stay.

Wow. This was the most pampering I have ever received at a ski club, particularly just as a guest…read moreand not a resident/member. My friends and I were staying at one of the Spanish Peaks cabins which provided full access to the Club. We were able to get delicious breakfast every morning before hitting the slopes, and were also excited to go back at the end of the day and grab some much needed drinks. Staff will help you remove your boots and will even heat your ski boots overnight! The locker rooms are also really nicely furnished. We learned while we were there that everything is only a few months old right now so we were really there in the ultimate peak condition. One of the other really cool things is that the Spanish Peaks resort is open only to guests. It has trails that connect you right into Big Sky so you can ski both resorts, but if you're staying at Spanish Peaks, the slopes there are included with your stay. Trails were wide open, freshly groomed, and it felt like we had our own private place to ski/snowboard. On Friday night there was a live band playing the bar area which was really nice. Also, I need to mention that our bartender Patrick (Murph!) was just phenomenal. He was friendly and attentive and clearly a great guy. He knows a lot about the area and gave us some good food suggestions. He also makes a mean Montana Mule. The Club was pure luxury and I would highly recommend visiting.

I can not say enough about this place, the staff, the skiing, the detail to every little thing, the food... Everything was absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to go back and visit again.

YC is adjacent to the Big Sky Resort in Montana, about 8- 10 minutes drive, depending on where you are staying. The Yellowstone Club private ski and golf community has a main lodge which is the heart of the Club. Love that this community has its own shops, restaurants & bars, lounge areas, spa, fitness center which has a big load of complimentary goodies, swimming pool , business center, concierge services, fire department and more. One of the major perks for members is the activities for children. Too many activities to name! Here's a few to keep busy: movie theatre, rock climbing wall, basketball court, arts, and crafts, and an arcade all at the the youth center. Staff will also provide supervised activities and day care. We love the Michelin quality dishes that comes out from the YC. The Clubhouse offers delectable meals and our go to spot from breakfast to dinners and great afternoon drinks with expansive Mountain View's. The fire pits makes fir a cozy ambiance and the outdoor pizza oven is pretty cool. The barn also is an extraordinary place for events! Love love love everything here at the YC!

I was disappointed by my experience working at Yellowstone Club this past season. For a property…read morethat caters to billionaires, it often felt like corners were cut at the expense of staff and facility standards. Equipment and amenities were frequently broken or poorly maintained--from a leaking roof and towel shortages to a malfunctioning pool and delayed rink openings. Promises made to employees--like ski days or full-club tours--were not upheld, and communication from leadership often shifted to fit the narrative. Despite working hard and receiving praise, I experienced a lack of transparency, fairness, and consistency--especially around service charges, insurance eligibility, and end-of-season scheduling. I do not recommend working for the Health and Wellness team under Serene's management. Her leadership style fostered confusion, stress, and unnecessary conflict. I hope YC leadership takes staff feedback seriously and prioritizes a more respectful, supportive work environment going forward.

Their ability to book our unit for this winter has been incredible! We now have nearly 90k in total reservations on the books in less than 8 weeks!

Ascend Properties recently oversaw the complete updating of our bedrooms, creating a beautiful rustic modern look. I highly recommend Ascend Properties if you are looking for a topnotch vacation rental management company in Big Sky.

We had a wonderful stay at 320 Guest Ranch in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. The views were absolutely…read morebeautiful, and the entire property had a peaceful, authentic Montana ranch feel. We stayed in one of the cabins, and it was perfect for our visit. It was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, fan, heater, shampoo, soap, hair dryer, and plenty of electrical outlets for charging all of our devices. Everything we needed was provided, making our stay very relaxing and convenient. We also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the ranch. Dinner was excellent, and our favorites were the creamy mac and cheese and the delicious huckleberry beer. The complimentary breakfast buffet was outstanding and far exceeded our expectations. No corners were cut on the offerings--there was a great variety of fresh, high-quality food, making it one of the best included breakfasts we've had while traveling. There were so many activities available that we wish we had more time to enjoy. The fly-fishing lessons and horseback riding looked fantastic, and we'd love to come back and experience both on a future visit. Overall, 320 Guest Ranch exceeded our expectations. Between the stunning scenery, comfortable accommodations, exceptional food, and welcoming atmosphere, it was one of the highlights of our Montana trip. We would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay here for the most part. I'll start with the positives:…read more- breakfast was the best part of our stay and was an incredible buffet with different options on both of our days. - the staff is friendly and helpful. - it was cool having a wood fireplace and being provided wood/fire starter. - the WiFi works well although I wish it had a password. - our king mattress was comfortable and the pillows were better than average. - the room was clean. - the windows open and are screened. - the local dog is friendly and cute. Negatives: - the roads are pretty bad, especially for my low car. To get to our cabin I had to navigate muddy potholes. - our AC in the cabin was pretty bad. It was difficult to understand and was inconsistent. The bathroom was pretty much always freezing. - there is no TV in the room (this may be a positive for some). - the products used in the bathroom (lotion, shampoo, etc.) are from Dial. This is likely the cheapest option and not something we would use. - the cabins are similar to a duplex. I thought it was a standalone unit we booked, but thankfully it was not crowded and we did not have a neighbor. - the door is a standard keyed lock. I wish it was a key pad so there isn't a risk of losing a key or needing to keep up with one. Overall, the positives outweigh the negatives and we would stay here again.

We made a reservation at the…read moreresturant (Moonlight Tabern) on Resi, which was confirmed so we showed up at our allotted time of 7:00pm. The staff said our reservation was canceled, which was never communicated to us, and we had no transportation to get anywhere else in the -10° weather. The manager kept repeating herself about saying it was members only (although that wasn't said on Resi), and tried to say there was a shuttle running into town, but there isn't after 5:35. There were 3-5 tables taken and plenty of tables open to seat anyone, and they wouldn't accommodate us with carry out or any food, and asked us to leave after saying that without being empathetic to any degree. How can you stay at a community and not be able to eat at the lodge? Also, they didn't allow credit cards? How is that acceptable in today's age?
