Big Sky, Montana (latitude 45.285,
longitude 111.368, elevation ~6,200’) is a vibrant, unincorporated
community in southwest Montana, between Bozeman, and West
Yellowstone.
Until the early 1970's, Big Sky
(the term from A.B. Guthrie's novel of the same name) was a quiet area
of real estate along the Gallatin River with a few guest
ranches. Now Ken McBride's ranch, the Crail Ranch, and the 5 Bar
B Ranch are the Meadow and Mountain Villages.
To this day Buck’s T-4; Karst
Camp,
home to the area's first ski lift in 1935; the 320 Ranch; and the Rainbow Ranch
Lodge are familiar sites in the ruggedly pristine Gallatin Canyon, Montana. In 1976, Boyne USA Resorts bought Big Sky Resort and its vast real
estate holding from Everett Kircher. In 1995 construction of the signature Lone
Peak Tram was
done.
