Activities
Big Sky is primarily known for its winter activities, which include ski and snowboard terrain, a terrain park, cross country skiing, zipline and snowshoeing, but it has become an increasingly popular summer attraction as well. Several ziplines, paintball, archery, tennis, hiking, and mountain biking trails are available on the mountain, with golf and Horseback riding available further down by the Meadow Village, which sits at an elevation of 6,800 feet (2,100 m), between the ski area and US-191.
For the summer 2012 season Big Sky introduced summer tram rides to take visitors effortlessly to the top of 11,166 Lone Peak.
Fly fishing and whitewater rafting are popular on the Gallatin River. Lake kayaking is available at Hebgen Lake 50 miles (80 km) south. Big Sky is a convenient and comfortable base camp for excursions into nearby Yellowstone National Park.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
