Big Sky Resort is hosting Military Appreciation Weekend, December 12-14, 2014, to thank our Armed forces for their service to our Country. Active duty or retired military men and woman ski or snowboard for free with valid military identification and their immediate families receive forty-one dollar lift tickets on Saturday and Sunday. Military lodging specials are available for Friday and Saturday nights.

“The fact that the Resort recognizes the sacrifices these people have made, being away from family and Montana is great,” commented Dick Fast, retired Air Force Colonel and ski instructor for Big Sky Resort.

Active duty and retired military and their immediate family members will also receive discounts on lessons, activities and equipment rentals with military identification.

“We feel it’s essential for military families to enjoy the outdoors together and what better way than skiing,” said Sheila Chapman, Big Sky Resort Public Relations Manager and daughter of retired Air Force Major, Craig Chapman.
