Can you imagine skiing in/out the front door of your Montana cabin? Well, Powder Ridge 1A allows you to do just that! Located on the White Otter ski access trail and chair lift, you will be making runs while others are searching for a place to park. The location is also convenient to ski home for lunch to relax and refuel before you hit the slopes for an afternoon of adventure.
This recently updated home is the perfect blend of luxury and coziness. The great room is warmed by a cobblestone gas fireplace with a perfectly stunning backdrop of the Spanish Peaks and is open to the upper loft area where there is a nice workspace. With two master suites, plus two well-appointed bedrooms spread across three levels, there is plenty of room for several couples or a big family to spread out.
The spacious back deck provides panoramic mountain views and offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the Green Egg or gas grills. Don't forget the private hot tub on your patio to relax after a long day enjoying Big Sky country. This home also is conveniently located less than 5 minutes away from the best hikes in Big Sky and only 45 miles from the gates of Yellowstone National Park. Whether you are enjoying the winter snow or the summer sun in one of the West's most special places, wilderness abounds in Powder Ridge.

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and were able to make use of the well-stocked kitchen. We hope to see you again next time you are in Big Sky!

Clean and up to date. Great layout and location. Very good ski in off greens. Ski out takes a little more effort with some heavy pole use. On the ski out, I recommend walking up the hill as far you care, to get up some speed. Great kitchen. Nice to have a garage. Heated floors were a pleasant surprise. A really nice balance of everything you need for a group.

Just what we were looking for. Cute, very clean cabin that had everything you need—kitchen stuff, games, hot tub, ski storage closet. Would stay again! Ski out is mostly walk out, but can definitely ski in if you don’t follow sign for Powder Ridge-continue to Otter lift and hang left @ unmarked road (found on day 3 😉) Oh and very responsive property management!

Serene family getaway. Plenty of room to spread out, snuggle up by the fire and enjoy watching the snow falling. The log home is right out of a hallmark Christmas movie and location is amazing Ski in-out right under the lift. We are looking forward to coming back.
