About this forecast
Big Sky Resort is a ski resort in Montana with a base at 7,500 ft and a summit at 11,166 ft, 3,666 ft of vertical. This page checks NOAA's hourly forecast at the base and the summit every time you load it and works out the wet-bulb temperature, which is what decides whether snow guns can run. Snowmakers can start below 28°F−2°C wet-bulb, and make good snow below 25°F−4°C.
