Heaven Is Here Ski Guide

Big Sky, Montana

"Home of the Biggest Skiing in America"

Big Sky is home to an old-school-wild vibe. The kind you read about in books. Everything about Montana screams untamed and untouched including Big Sky.

Home to gusty conditions, everyday winds pick up fresh snow and blow it to different parts of mountain. That means fresh powder on the slopes even if hasn't snowed.

Hot Tips:

Yeti Dogs, are some delicious hot dogs, located at the base of the mountain. Grab them and take them up the chairlift for a quick meal.
Chopper Bar for after ski drinks.

Extra Hot Tip: Rent a house with a hot tub.

Telluride, Colorado

"Skiing in Telluride is a real bucket list experience. Lift lines are almost non-existent and you’ll feel like you own the mountain, whether you're up for first tracks or taking some lunchtime turns."

Check out all it's got to offer skiers and snowboarders at Telluride.com

Though many ski resorts are recommended for noteworthy combos like lodging and convenience or challenging slopes and cuisine, the Telluride Ski Resort scores well across the board.

Located in Mountain Village, Colorado, a hidden escape in Colorado's southwestern mountains. It's the kind of spot where people live life to the fullest, A-lister come to not be seen, and the scenery is part of the charm.

"Telluride has one of the most singular layouts of any mountain destination in the world, with the ski resort linking two distinct enclaves, Mountain Village and Town." Forbes

Tacos and snow somehow make perfect sense at The Gnar.

Farinet Après Ski is a great spot to end a long day of activities with a drink and some music--live music--if it's during the skiing season.
