Surrounded by Millions of Acres of National Forest, National Park, and Wilderness Lands, Big Sky Is the Perfect Basecamp for a Summer Escape in the Mountains Surrounded by millions of acres of National Forest, National Park, and Wilderness lands, Big Sky is the perfect basecamp for a summer escape in the mountains. Whether you are in search of adventure and exhilaration, guided hikes or golf, Big Sky offers lodging, activities, and the creature comforts of home, just an hour from Yellowstone National Park. Big Sky Resort is located in the Northern Rockies of southwest Montana between Bozeman, Montana and Yellowstone National Park. Miles of Hiking & Mountain Biking Terrain Big Sky Resort offers several miles of hiking and biking trails available right out of Mountain Village, with connections into the backcountry and beyond. Enjoy chairlift-serviced downhill mountain biking for all levels and abilities. This summer, bike carrier capacity will increase on Ramcharger 8 by 33 percent, as well as a 50 percent increase in bike capacity on Explorer. Both Ramcharger 8 and Explorer chairlifts run daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Montana’s Highest Scenic Overlook – No Hike Required Escape the heat at Montana’s highest scenic overlook on the Lone Peak Expedition. Ride to 11,166 feet - no hike required - to the summit of Lone Mountain for views of three states, two national parks and mountain ranges for miles. Be on the lookout for some Big Sky locals: a herd of mountain goats often spotted sunning themselves on Lone Peak’s rocky cliffs. Big Sky Golf Course The Big Sky Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 72 course at 6,300 feet above sea level, offering spectacular views of Lone Peak. The golf course, which winds along the wildlife-rich banks of the West Fork of the Gallatin River, was designed by the late great Arnold Palmer. Don’t miss an al fresco meal at the Bunker Deck & Grill before or after heading out on the course. Basecamp to Yellowstone Big Sky Resort is located just one hour from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. If geysers and wildlife top your must-see list, but roughing it isn’t exactly your thing - enjoy the creature comforts of a resort stay at Big Sky. Resort accommodations, a spa and salon, pool, and dining are the perfect complement to your trip to Yellowstone National Park. Ziplines Big Sky offers two zipline tours – the Nature and Adventure Ziplines. The Nature Zipline is a low-impact, 3-line course featuring segments from 350’ to 500’ in length and 30 to 60 feet in the air. For more of a thrill, ride the Explorer chairlift to the Adventure Zipline for 4,400 feet of ziplining, 150 feet above the forest floor. The ForeverProject The ForeverProject is Big Sky Resort's sustainability roadmap with the goal of reaching net- zero carbon emissions by 2030. We have made progress towards our goal by sourcing a global purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs). 100% of Big Sky Resort's electrical use is carbon-free as of January 2021. All of Big Sky Resort's lift operations have been running on carbon-free energy since March 2020. Big Sky Resort partners with Tradewater to allow our guests to offset the carbon footprint of their trip to Big Sky by destroying harmful refrigerants. Big Sky 2025 An ambitious 10-year capital plan, Big Sky 2025 is aimed at transforming the small town of Big Sky and its big mountain ski terrain into a world-class, year-round mountain destination. The four pillars that guide the 2025 vision include: An emphasis on the alpine experience, reimagining the Mountain Village, supporting local community development, and increasing transportation to Big Sky. Swift Current 6 Big Sky Resort is embarking on a major chairlift upgrade, Swift Current 6, for the 2021-2022 winter season. The new six-person, high-speed lift will increase uphill capacity by nearly 50% and includes a weatherproof bubble and ultrawide heated seats. This upgrade is the resort's next step in creating the most technologically-advanced lift network in North America, a key pillar of the Big Sky 2025 vision. Swift Current 6 offers guests reliability, efficiency, and a staggeringly fast, warm, and comfortable ride up Lone Mountain. The New Huntley Lodge The Huntley Lodge, Big Sky Resort’s original slopeside lodge located in the heart of Mountain Village, is undergoing a significant renovation of its 200 hotel rooms. Combining the unique architectural aesthetic, natural colors, and textures found in Montana, the rooms feature a new, sleek design to evoke a sense of comfort and warmth. The modern mountain rooms include spacious new bathrooms, enhanced privacy with new sound dampening, and beds with luxe linens. Remodeled rooms in are available starting in summer 2021. Summit Hotel Transformation The Summit Hotel, the premier slopeside lodging in Big Sky, is undergoing a transformative renovation that will completely update 213 guest rooms and common spaces with a lighter, sleeker, alpine luxe aesthetic. A warm respite from the breath-taking grandeur of the natural beauty of Big Sky, The Summit Hotel debuted new common spaces and restaurant renovations for the 2020-2021 winter season. Room renovations will debut for the 2021-2022 winter season. New Air Capacity Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport offers direct flights to 30 cities this summer, the most service in airport history. During the winter season, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is the most well-served ski destination across the United States, with flights to 19 cities.

  • East Gallatin Nutrient Monitoring Project: Summary Report, 2017 Data Collection and ‘Site H’ Algal Spike
    East Gallatin Nutrient Monitoring Project: Summary Report, 2017 Data Collection and ‘Site H’ Algal Spike 215 W. Mendenhall, Suite 300 Bozeman, MT 59715 406.582.3168 www.glwqd.org Prepared by Torie Haraldson, Water Quality Tech. Specialist January, 2019 Project Background The Gallatin Local Water Quality District (GLWQD) led water quality data collection for a modeling effort by the City of Bozeman (the City) from 2014-2016. The purpose of the model is to understand the potential implications of Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) Total Maximum Daily Load assessment on the City’s Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for their water reclamation facility (WRF) that discharges to the East Gallatin River, just north of Bozeman, Montana. Modeling (by HDR of Missoula) has provided insight into nutrient processing within the river system and its potential responses to nutrient management activities. The modeling process employs the river and stream water quality model QUAL2K, which couples nutrient data with light, weather, topography, and other inputs to predict algal growth in reaches along the river continuum. A project progress report by City of Bozeman staff at the GLWQD Board of Directors May 4, 2017 meeting included results that indicated a spike in algal density at ‘Site H’, a site on the main stem of the East Gallatin River approximately 13 miles downstream of the WRF (Figure 1). Chlorophyll-a is a photosynthetic pigment that is isolated from algae samples and used to quantify algal density.

  • Jefferson River at Three Forks, Montana
    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JEFFERSON RIVER AT THREE FORKS, MONTANA Prepared by U.S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, OMAHA, NEBRASKA December 1971 Jefferson River at Three Forks, Montana ( ) Draft (X) Final Environmental Statement Responsible Office: U.S. Army Engineer District, Omaha, Nebraska 1. Name of Action: (x) Administrative ( ) Legislative 2. Description of Action: The proposed project would consist of the construction of an earth filled levee and a drainage collector ditch approximately lU ,700 feet in length along the northwest side of a small community. The location is at Three Forks in Gallatin County, Montana. 3. a. Environmental Impacts; Flood protection would be provided for a flood having a frequency of occurrence of once in a 100 years. A 28 acre loss of alternate land use would be required for levee alignment. A possibilit would exist for pollutants from adjacent land to accumulate in the collector ditch. A potential would exist for the collector ditch to develop aquatic growth. Five hundred feet of shelterbelt would be lost to levee construction. b. Adverse Environmental Effects: Construction would effect the removal of 28 acres of land from alternative land use; collector ditch could act as a collector of pollutants; and construction of the levee would necessitate the removal of 500 feet of shelterbelt. Alternatives; Floodplain zoning, evacuation, flood proofing, reservoir construction, channel improvement, and ”no development” were considered. 5• Comments Received: City of Three Forks Bureau of Sport Fisheries & Wildlife, USDI Montana Department of Fish Bureau of Reclamation, USDI and Game Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, USDI Montana Department of Health Environmental Protection Agency, USEPA Montana Highway Commission Bureau of Mines, USDI Soil Conservation Service, USDA Montana Water Resources Board National Park Service, USDI 6.

  • Upper Gallatin River Watershed Water Quality Report
    2015 UPPER GALLATIN RIVER WATERSHED WATER QUALITY REPORT Kristin Gardner, PhD | Executive Director, Gallatin River Task Force Stephanie Lynn | Education and Communications Coordinator, Gallatin River Task Force January 2016 The continuous monitoring work of the Gallatin River Task Force would not be possible without the support of the Big Sky Resort Area Tax District, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, donors, and numerous volunteers. Thank you for helping to protect and preserve the health of the Upper Gallatin River Watershed, an irreplaceable and highly valued natural and community resource. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over 2015, the Gallatin River Task Force (Task Force) and its volunteers collected more than 8,000 data points! This data was collected to assess water quality, macroinvertebrate (stream insect) populations, and streamflow at sixteen sites in the Upper Gallatin River Watershed. The Task Force analyzes this data to assess and track the health of the Upper Gallatin River and its tributaries. Results indicated healthy levels of dissolved oxygen and temperature for trout and stream insects at all sites. Nitrate levels were elevated at several sites on the West Fork of the Gallatin River (West Fork) and the Middle Fork of the West Fork (Middle Fork). High nitrate levels can increase algal growth and adversely impact fish and stream insect populations. Human sources of nitrate in river water include human and animal waste, stormwater runoff, and fertilizer. Fine sediment sampling indicated that the Middle Fork just before it joins the North Fork had more streambed sediment than is healthy for fish and aquatic insects. Fine sediment can smother trout spawning grounds and aquatic insect habitat.
