Winter On The Ranch

Winter in Big Sky, Montana, is quiet, beautiful, and peaceful, and lots of fun. The historic 320 Guest Ranch offers a range of winter activities...starlit sleigh rides to our Mountain Man Campsite, snowshoeing, downhill and cross-country skiing, bonfires, wildlife viewing, and snowmobiling. Let us know what you want to do, and we'll get you set up!

Things To Bring

Our Rocky Mountain climate can be hard to pin down sometimes, so you should plan to wear layers. Mornings are sometimes quite cold, with afternoons that can be extremely mild-sun and 32 degrees here is surprisingly warm, especially if you're skiing or doing something active. Bring an extra pair of shoes so that you have a dry pair to put on after playing in the snow. And of course don't forget to throw in a bathing suit for the hot tub.
