Boutique luxury hotel group One&Only has just opened its newest property, and it’ll likely prove to be among the best ski resorts in the United States (which admittedly isn’t saying a whole lot).

Yes that 100USD credit will really help at 2k+ a night LOL.
I am teasing the advice is still sound.
One of the reasons a lot of ski resorts in the US lack what many perceive as 'luxury accommodations' is because American ski resorts put a lot of focus on 'tradition' and 'how skiing used to be'. Wealthier skiers in the US don't always look for pure ultra-luxury, but may look for 'pseudo-vintage' looks. Sun Valley, Jackson Hole, Alta, etc. and their associated ski towns really try to maintain a look rather than develop new looks.
Though in all likelihood, this hotel will be part of FHR and/or The Edit so you could potentially use those credits (and redeem points at 2 CPP if part of The Edit).
Another new hotel in Big Sky ruining what used to be my favorite place on the planet. Frankly I still love the Huntley but I am sad that I have Big Sky's logo literally tattooed on my right calve. I grew up skiing at Big Sky - was actually a snow reporter there and it used to be a place for the middle class. I still love it, but recently moved out of the Hotel Baxter downtown Bozeman and plan to probably never return. I was up at One and Only last season when it basically was forced to have a soft opening. The gondola is something very cool. Between this, Montage, Yellow Stone Club, Spanish Peaks - the rich have basically told the normal people to get out of Big Sky. A lot of great people work and still live in the area. I am incredibly proud of the people who work at the resort. Big Sky is in my mind the best ski resort in North America (waiting for the comments there haha). Thank you as always for your great articles. I do appreciate your blog - I really mean that!
Ben, did you just deal with an aircraft swap to CDG? The radar services only show 777's operating the route....
If you think this is great, wait for the next 25+ years of Big Sky. I was part of the master planning team a few years back, and the future is VERY exciting! The family who own Boyne Resorts/Big Sky are great people with an incredible vision for its future.
To those who are concerned about the aesthetic/vibe/cost, those will all be addressed in the next few phases. Most importantly, a huge emphasis will be placed on workforce housing. Current employees mostly live in Bozeman and have long shuttle bus rides to/from work, and ownership wants to rectify that ASAP
Hey can you let ownership know that being the only aerial tram to charge non-season pass ticketholders on a per-ride basis is crazy? That's part of the "aesthetic/vibe/cost" thing you mentioned
I’ve ridden that shuttle bus as a thrifty skier, staying in town. It’s 60-90 minutes each way, making for a long day, whether you’re working or skiing.
I believe he took that flight on the night of the 16th (based on his posting schedule), so he was likely lucky and got to fly the last day AF had the 787 operating to YUL. Yes, I know it seems like I'm stalking him lol. I'm just observant.
