Is it just us, or does Big Sky somehow keep getting better? Not only is it one of the top winter destinations in the entire country (and naturally beautiful in any season to boot), but the small town is home to a legitimate ski-in bar. And, aside from the fact that you can ski right in the back door of Scissorballs Saloon, this bar and eatery serves some absolutely delicious food.

Scissorbills Saloon is located in the Big Sky Mountain Village.

You'll find the entrance at the base of the resort, which is why it's such a popular ski-in destination.
Scissorbill is an old Western term that referenced greenhorn ranchers who didn't know what they were doing.

Luckily, everyone here seems to know exactly what they're doing.
The eatery is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, but that wasn't always the case.

When the business first opened, they could only afford to be open to the public seasonally.
