The thriving heart of the year-round Big Sky community can be found in the Meadow, the town seven miles down the road from the ski resort that’s nestled between the surrounding peaks and the winding forks of the Gallatin River. The seasonal influx of visitors to the resort supports an outsize selection of restaurants, galleries, and amenities for a town of 3,000 year-round residents. Combined with the incredible variety of outdoor recreation, those who say you can’t have it all have clearly never been to Big Sky.

Big Sky is a different story—though some homesteaders moved into the area in the early 1900s, the community didn’t form until after Chet Huntley, the Montana-born NBC news anchor, started development of Big Sky Resort in the late 1960s.
