If you've ever been ziplining, you already know how fun and exhilarating it is - and if you haven't, you owe it yourself to try it. There's nothing quite like flying through the air and taking in all the beauty around you. And if you happen to be at the Big Sky Resort, you don't even have to wait until spring to give it a go. The resort's Adventure Zipline Tour in Montana runs all winter long, and it's wonderful. Come along as we give you a little taste of what life is like flying high above the trees!
Big Sky Resort is located in the heart of paradise, and it's especially heavenly in the winter.
Those who come here for snow sports are treated to some of the most spectacular views in the entire State of Montana.
And while skiing and snowboarding are always fun, there's truly something special about ziplining over the trees.
The course offers sweeping views of Lone Mountain and the Spanish Peaks of the Madison Range. And since it's designed for speed, you'll get an adrenaline rush at the same time.
First, you'll embark on the Explorer Double Chair. Once you've reached the top, the fun begins!
Your friendly helpers will provide numerous safety checks and make sure you're properly equipped and strapped in before you leap.
The adventure takes about two hours.
During that time, you'll swoop down beautiful Lone Mountain on four lines spanning up to 1,500 feet long and 150 feet above the forest floor. This includes a Twin Zipline, where you can race your fellow adventurers.
This one-of-a-kind adventure carries a different, but reasonable, price point depending on when you'd like to go.
There are only a handful of spots available per tour, but they fill up fast.
So if you want to go with a group, you'll want to plan accordingly.
Also, make sure to wear lots of layers. This is a beautiful experience, but needless to say, Montana winter weather can be extremely cold!
So if someone were to ask you, "Is the Adventure Zipline Tour open in winter?" you'll know exactly what to tell them!
