Getting There
Big Sky is about 53 miles south of Bozeman's Gallatin Field Airport on U.S. 191. From the airport, you can ride to the ski area with Karst Stage (tel. 800/845-2778 or 406/556-3500; www.karststage.com), a company that has a transportation fleet of sturdy four-wheel-drive vehicles. The ride is $45 to $50 round-trip per person in winter; summer transportation is slightly more expensive and can be arranged by calling ahead. Or you can take a taxi provided by Mountain Taxi (tel. 406/995-4895) for about $150 one-way.
Getting Around
A car gives you the greatest flexibility in getting around this area. For service between condominiums, hotels, restaurants, and activities within the ski area, take Big Sky's free local shuttle-bus system, which operates daily during the ski season.
