Kircliff: Big Sky Resort’s All-Glass Scenic Viewing Platform
Perched at 11,166 feet atop Lone Peak, the new Kircliff viewing platform redefines what it means to take in the view. Integrated into the top terminal of the Lone Peak Tram, this architectural marvel invites guests to step into an all-glass enclosure and experience the mountain from an entirely new perspective.
With 360-degree panoramic windows and a glass floor that drops straight down the fall line of Lone Mountain, Kircliff offers a thrilling yet serene vantage point. On clear days, visitors can see across three states — Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming — with Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks visible in the distance.
Whether you reach it by ski or scenic tram ride, Kircliff is a must-see for anyone visiting Big Sky. Experience the unveiling on December 20, 2025.
The Explorer Gondola: A New Way to Experience the Mountain
Debuting for the 2025–26 winter season, the Explorer Gondola marks a bold new chapter in Big Sky Resort’s mountain access and design. This high-speed, 10-person gondola will connect the Mountain Village base area directly to the Lone Peak Tram, offering a seamless top-to-bottom experience.
With enclosed cabins, panoramic windows, and direct access to a new food and après destination at the top terminal, the Explorer Gondola transforms how guests move — and unwind — on the mountain. Whether you’re a skier, sightseer, or après enthusiast, this new lift delivers a comfortable and unforgettable way to explore Big Sky.
