Big Sky, Montana
Why go in March:
If you think ski season is over by the time March rolls around, think again: Montana’s Big Sky Resort doesn’t close its slopes until late April, meaning you can still enjoy prime conditions during this month. Big Sky features an incredible 5,850 acres of skiable terrain, with sizable portions dedicated to both beginner and expert runs (keep an eye out for the brand-new Lone Peak Tram opening this winter.) It’s easily one of the best ski destinations in the country, but the region offers so much more than rides down the slopes. Yellowstone National Park is just an hour away, for example, and the park’s geothermal pools look even more brilliant set against a backdrop of snow.
Where to stay:
One of the hottest hotel openings of 2025 is the One&Only Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, the Dubai-based brand’s first in the US. Condé Nast Traveler editor Hannah Towey was the first guest to stay at the property this past November when it opened, and she described it in her full review as the “next-generation modern ski resort, where alpine adventure can be enjoyed year-round.” With large elegant rooms, dining venues that grant spectacular mountain views, and service that anticipates your every need, it’s a definite must-visit. It joins other alpine properties in the area like Montage Big Sky and Lone Mountain Ranch, all of which are perfect for getting into the cowboy-core lifestyle.
