+ About this map
Big Sky was founded by a news anchor. Chet Huntley, the Montana-born co-anchor of NBC’s Huntley-Brinkley Report from 1956 to 1970, left one of the most famous jobs in American television to build a ski resort in his home state. The resort opened in December 1973; Huntley died on March 20, 1974, three days before its formal dedication. What he started is now one of the largest ski areas in North America, over 5,800 acres across four mountains in southwestern Montana, crowned by 11,166-foot Lone Mountain and some of the most challenging inbounds skiing on the continent.
